</html>

AND

CSS

h1{
    color:orange;
    text-align:center;
}
header p{
    color:blue;
}

All I want to do is change the header p {} color to whatever I want but it seems anything with header {} does not tend to work for some reason. wanted to see where I messed up the code or if not maybe some software I am missing I just do not understand.

Solution 1

In these type of scenario people usually mess up with either the name of stylesheet or its extension

check the name first it should be style.css than check extension means it should be under folder css

Yeah I have the index.html file then within another folder named css I have my css file named style.css when I change the Body file to color:whatever; it changes it to any color I want also when I change it to H1 it also changes the color of that but If I want to be specific with the Header p it does not let me change it individually.
