Challenge task 2 of 4 (stage 5 customizing colors and fonts)

Having trouble with this challenge. It seems my issue is in proper placement of the style. the error i get is "Double check that you've styled paragraph (p) elements to be black with a hexidecimal value" could someone please help with this. loving this so far glad that i've hit a road block. i've watched the video again to make sure i didnt miss the topic and to my knowledge it is not. please help.

sample of code so far: a { text-decoration: none; }

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

h1, h2 { color: #fff;}

<head> <style> p { color: #000 } </style> </head>

Try using this as a reference

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1,h2{
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

p{
    color: #000000;
}

Thank you mike rocka ! challenge completed. please confirm that im seeing this right. the reason i didnt need to nest or or give it a specific anchor (excuse me if that is the wrong word) in css is because it is pulling the nested location from the html code. they are working in tandem. Is this correct?
