First, you have to add the <style> element so that internal CSS styles can be applied. 

<body>
    <style></style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Next, you have to select the h1 element which means you will be using that <style> element we created. 

<body>
    <style>
     h1 {

     }
    </style>
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
</body>

Finally, you are going to set the h1 text color to green. If you remember which property that is, it is just the property color. In order to set the h1 to green, all you have to do is set its color property to green within those curly braces and end the statement with a semicolon. So then we would write:

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

I hope that helps!
