For the challenge I don't understand what you mean by changing the color to black on paragraphs. isnt it #000?

shouldn't it be #000? i dont think it is clear where i put it in?

do i put it in the h1 , h2 section?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

Hi, Matthew. Each element in HTML has a different name. Elements such as h1 and h2 are called headings and use the <h1> tags, etc. Paragraphs use the <p> tags, and are selected in CSS by simply using p. To set the colour of a paragraph in your CSS file, you'd do this:

p {
    color: #000;
}
