Hi there! Depending on your use case, you can change the color of an h1 tag using either a class selector as shown in the video or a type selector. Here's an example of both:

/* Class Selector */
.name {
  color: green;
}

/* Type/Element Selector */
h1 {
  color:  green;
}

If you're keen to learn more about CSS selectors checkout our CSS Selectors Quickstart course.

I hope this helps! :sparkles:

Hi, mohammed qadi! If you mean for the challenge at the end of this series, you'll find two tabs in the challenge. One is index.html and the other is styles.css. Your code should go in the styles.css tab. :sparkles:

ok thx i just messed up with some code i found online , i deleted it and it worked thx anyways and thx for the super quick response :)

Hi, changing colours is super easy.

<div class="my_container">
   <h1>Hello world!</h1>
</div>
.my_container h1{
   color: black; /* or hexidecimal */
}

There are alternatives to doing this.

You can assign a id or class to the h1 directly & call it in the stylesheet or you can do direct styles to the h1 tag

   <h1 style="color: #eee;">Hello world!</h1>

You are missing a semi-colon after black.

Good eye, I am so used to text editors auto completing them :P

Haha true!

if you want change to blue

<h1 style="color:blue;">This is a Blue Heading</h1>
