Black Paragraph Elements

Hey, just getting a bit confused with the Black Paragraph Elements question.

body {
      background-color: #ffffff;
      color: #000000;

}

I have used this code to set the body color, however it keeps telling me it is wrong. I even pasted the project file from the example and changed the color to #000000, but still registers as wrong?

Have I missed something?

Thanks

Robert

I just took the quiz again and saw nothing asking to set the body text as you have done above, I did see a question asking to set the color of the "P" elements to black. The code for this is below

p { 
  color: #000; 
}

I must have mistaken the body {color:#.....} in the video for controlling paragraph color.

Thanks for your help Adam!
