Hi Wayne!

It takes a while to get a grasp of it, just keep at it! :)

To style your paragraph black, you target the paragraph with a 'p' (like in paragraph) - and then to set it to black you can use "color: black;", or "color: #000"/"color:#000000" - the zeros are the hexadecimal value for black, but the word black works fine too!

like this: 

p {
   color: #000
}

Hope that helps, and good luck!
