Help me with CSS coding!

Challenge Task 2 of 4 Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value.

I can't make the challenge work, when i type it in my own domain it sets the paragraphs to black but doesn't do it when i take the challenge. I know i have to be more precise than the browser to overwrite a href link that is blue in default so I type:

section p { color: #111; }

This won't work for me, do I have to be even more precise?

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

section p {
   color: #111;
}

Hey Jonas,

Black in hexadecimal is #000000 or #000 (For short).

For reference, check out the HTML Color Picker.

Edit: I should also mention that you only need to select the paragraph tag (p) in order to pass the challenge. 

p {
    color: #000;
}

Best,

Jacob
