"You don't seem to have any <option> elements within the <select> element. Please add some." I have six.

Where in my code is the mistake?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <select id = "color" name = "shirt_color">
        <optgroup label = "color">
          <option value = "red">Red</option>
          <option value = "yellow">Yellow</option>
          <option value = "purple">Purple</option>
          <option value = "blue">Blue</option>
          <option value = "green">Green</option>
          <option value = "orange">Orange</option>
        </optgroup>  
      </select>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

Nevermind, I realized that my <label> element didn't have a 'for = "color"'.
