HTML How to Make a Website Customizing Colors and Fonts Write Hexadecimal Colors

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

Setting the color of paragraphs was never covered during any of the videos leading up to the Challenge; I keep getting the "Bummer! Double check that you've styled paragraph (p) elements to be black with a hexidecimal value. The Challenge doesn't have a "index.html" tab; only the css/main.css....none of which mention anything related to the values of what the style element would be placed for this example.....please help I've tried everything I can think of to get past this part of the challenge with no luck :(

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

Ok in that style sheet there you've selected the a, h1, and h2 elements and styled them all successfully. All it's asking is that you select the p element and style it as well. So the code should look like this:

p {
    color: #000;
}

Give that a whirl!

Thank you, hopefully it's something that simple and I'm just overthinking my code!

p { color: #000; }
