Okay so I am learning HTML and CSS and I came across a little problem this afternoon.
I have tried so hard to fix this code for over 3 hours and it is still giving me the same output. So after the last div closing tag in the HTML document, I tried to make a header and a new h1 element but the problem is that, it appears in the purple like background in the gradient background which I don't want. I have tried several ways and means to fix the issue but I still end up with the same result.
`<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" >
<title>HomePage</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" >
</head>
<body>
<div>
<nav>
<ul class="up-nav" id="dropdownClick">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Join Us</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sign In</a></li>
<li class="up-nav-right"><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
<li class="dropdownIcon"><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="dropdownMenu()">☰</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
<div class="container" id="section-gradient">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">
<div>
<h1 class="big">Hi Sofie</h1>
<h1 class="big">Join Our Newsletter</h1>
</div>
<form>
<div>
<h2>First Name</h2>
<input class="inputfield" type="text" placeholder="First Name" name="First Name Here">
<h2>Email Address</h2>
<input class="inputfield" type="email" placeholder="Email Address" name="Email Address Here">
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="col-6">
<div class="rightSideCol">
<div class="videoEmbed">

</div>

</div>
<header>
<h1>Lorem Ipsum</h1>
</header>
<script>
function dropdownMenu() {
var x = document.getElementById("dropdownClick");
/*#####Change up-nav to up.nav.respond#####*/
if (x.className === "up-nav") {
x.className += " respond";
}
else {
x.className = "up-nav"
}
}

You're missing a closing </div> tag before the opening <header> tag.
As a side note, you should only ever have one <h1> tag per page. It is your most important heading. Read up more on heading tags here.
<h1 class="big">Hi Sofie</h1>
<h1 class="big">Join Our Newsletter</h1>
Should become
<h1 class="big">Hi Sofie<br> Join Our Newsletter</h1>
