CSS Paragraph?

I'm trying to change the paragraph text to black, so I put in: p { color: #999 } it keeps telling me to make sure I'm using the paragraph (p) element, and I've tried putting parenthesis around it, capitalizing it, and I've double checked my brackets and colons' semi colons and still to no avail. What am I doing wrong?
