so there are few different way you can do this., but in this lesson you're going to use the CSS style sheet. in order to change the color of an element from the HTML page you'll want to select it in the CSS folder and created a new rule like this:

h1 {
  color: purple;
}

You need to modify the "styles.css" document.

Add this element:

h1 { color: purple; }

Thank you very gentlemen

First in the head remove purple from the link and replace it with "stylesheet" ...............

Then in your style.css add the following ....................

h1 { color: purple; }

sorry not sure what the MarkDown code is for the post to make it pretty
