Hi Kanav,

To set the color of the text in the paragraph to black your css should look like this:

P {
  color: black;
}

if you need the background to be black you will need to do this:

p {
  background-color: black;
}

Let me know if that helped :)

Just select the p element and set the color to #000 or #000000 which is the same, that code means black (zero amount of red, green and blue)
