Hey Faiqah, to change the color of an h1 you could style the tag using CSS like this

h1 {
color: blue;
}

or you could use inline

<h1 style="color: blue;">Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

Hey Faiqah,

Also you can assign a class to h1 if you going to use it more than once on the same or different page. 

<h1 class="h1blue">Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>

Than in CSS file you have to add:

.h1blue {
color: blue;
}
