  .rgb(255,0,0-text{

Your first color class looks weird:

```auto
.rgb(255,0,0-text{
    color: rgb(255, 0 , 0)
  }

```

It should look like:

```auto
.red-text {
    color: rgb(255, 0, 0);
  }

```

Also, your first `<h1>` doesn’t have the right class. It should look like:

```auto
<h1 class="red-text">I am red!</h1>

```

I think you understand the concept. Just some typos or maybe copy/paste mistakes. 😃
