Div Font Colors Options

[ShizukaHio]

On a div layout, how do you get the font in the body to be different than the font color of the header? I keep using the codes I learned from the tutorial and the first topic I posted but no matter what I try, the font colors for both end up being the same.

Its the same when I try to do the writing style as well.

This is the code I'm using for the header:

CODE

<style>
.header {border:2px solid; border-color:violet; background-color:darkorchid; border: 3px solid; border-color:purple; margin:3px; font-size:20px; line-height:24px;}
</style>

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in it since I can change the size and it doesn't affect the main text, but I can't change the color of it at all.
