Hi!

You probably forgot style tag! And the color is green!

<body>
  <style>h1{color: green;}</style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

are you applying this code to a CSS file or straight to the html file? if you are doing it like domen is suggesting than thats the way it should be done if not and you need to link the css file and html file together, the way that you will do that is by implementing the following code to youre html file:

<link href = "style.css" rel = "stylesheet" type = "css/text">

please remember that href should be the name if the css file. Hope that helped!
