## Introducing Inline Styles
## Solution
This one can be a little tricky because JSX is very similar to HTML but **NOT the same**.
Let's walkthrough the steps so that you understand the difference.
First set your style tag to a **JavaScript object**.
```jsx
class Colorful extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div style={{}}>
Big Red
</div>
);
}
};
```
Now you have your style tag set to an empty object. Notice how there are two sets of curly braces. This is an important difference between JSX and HTML.<br>
Second, let's set the color to red.
```jsx
class Colorful extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div style={{ color: 'red' }}>
Big Red
</div>
);
}
};
```
Finally, let's set the font size to 72px.
### Spoiler
```jsx
class Colorful extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div style={{ color: 'red', fontSize: '72'}}>
Big Red
</div>
);
}
};
```
Notice how the JSX attribute is **camelCase**. This is another important difference to remember about JSX.
Additionally, you probably noticed that there is no unit. In JSX, when setting the fontSize attribute the **unit is optional** and will automatically be set to px if not set manually.
