Creating colored text through css

I am creating colored text through css. The instruction is to have all of my <p> tags become black.

My code is: p { color: #111; }

Is there anything that wshould be different?? Or is this a bug in the software?? Thanks!

css/main.css 
p {
  color: #111;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

Hey Taylor,

#111 is not black, it's a dark grey (technically). Black is #000000 or #000. That is why the challenge is failing. :)

:dizzy:
