Project 3- T-Shirt Info Section

Hi, I'm having a bit of difficulty with the T-Shirt Section of Project 3. I am trying to test my variables for value and attribute. When I log value I get the results printed but for attribute I always get "null" returned. How can I get the attribute variable to print the color options in the console.log?

//T-Shirt info section*****
const color = document.getElementById("color");
const design = document.getElementById("design");
color.disabled = true;

design.addEventListener("change", () => {
  color.disabled = false;
  for (let i = 0; i <= color.children.length; i++) {
    const value = event.target.value;
    const attribute = color.getAttribute("data-theme");

    console.log(value)
    console.log(attribute)

  }
});

            <div id="shirt-designs" class="shirt-designs">
              <label for="design">Design:</label>
              <select id="design" name="user-design">
                <option hidden>Select Theme</option>
                <option value="js puns">Theme - JS Puns</option>
                <option value="heart js">Theme - I &#9829; JS</option>
              </select>
            </div>

            <div id="shirt-colors" class="shirt-colors">
              <label for="color">Color:</label>
              <select id="color">
                <option selected hidden>Select a design theme above</option>
                <option data-theme="js puns" value="cornflowerblue">Cornflower Blue (JS Puns shirt only)</option>
                <option data-theme="js puns" value="darkslategrey">Dark Slate Grey (JS Puns shirt only)</option> 
                <option data-theme="js puns" value="gold">Gold (JS Puns shirt only)</option>
                <option data-theme="heart js" value="tomato">Tomato (I &#9829; JS shirt only)</option>
                <option data-theme="heart js" value="steelblue">Steel Blue (I &#9829; JS shirt only)</option> 
                <option data-theme="heart js" value="dimgrey">Dim Grey (I &#9829; JS shirt only)</option> 
              </select>
            </div>
          </div>
        </fieldset>
      </div>

<select id="color"> does not have a value for a data-theme attribute. Try changing const attribute = color.getAttribute("data-theme"); to const attribute = color.children[i].getAttribute("data-theme"); and changing i <= color.children.length to i < color.children.length
