# --description--

Now let's change the color of some of our text.

We can do this by changing the `style` of your `h2` element.

The property that is responsible for the color of an element's text is the `color` style property.

Here's how you would set your `h2` element's text color to blue:

```html
<h2 style="color: blue;">CatPhotoApp</h2>
```

Note that it is a good practice to end inline `style` declarations with a `;` .

# --instructions--

Change your `h2` element's style so that its text color is red.

# --hints--

Your `h2` element should have a `style` declaration.

```js
assert.exists(document.querySelector('h2').getAttribute('style'));
```

Your `h2` element should have color set to `red`.

```js
assert.strictEqual(document.querySelector('h2').style.color, 'red');
```

Your `style` declaration should end with a `;` .

```js
assert.isTrue(document.querySelector('h2').getAttribute('style').endsWith(';'));
```
