# --description--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Classes are reusable styles that can be added to HTML elements.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Here's an example CSS class declaration:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```html
 | 
						|
<style>
 | 
						|
  .blue-text {
 | 
						|
    color: blue;
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
</style>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can see that we've created a CSS class called `blue-text` within the `<style>` tag. You can apply a class to an HTML element like this: `<h2 class="blue-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>`. Note that in your CSS `style` element, class names start with a period. In your HTML elements' class attribute, the class name does not include the period.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --instructions--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Inside your `style` element, change the `h2` selector to `.red-text` and update the color's value from `blue` to `red`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Give your `h2` element the `class` attribute with a value of `red-text`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# --hints--
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Your `h2` element should be red.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert($('h2').css('color') === 'rgb(255, 0, 0)');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Your `h2` element should have the class `red-text`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert($('h2').hasClass('red-text'));
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Your stylesheet should declare a `red-text` class and have its color set to `red`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert(code.match(/\.red-text\s*\{\s*color\s*:\s*red;\s*\}/g));
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You should not use inline style declarations like `style="color: red"` in your `h2` element.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
assert($('h2').attr('style') === undefined);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
  }
 |

</style>
