Perhaps they mean you need to set the background color to black

p{ background-color: #000000; }

Hope this helps.

Lior,

To set the font color for all paragraphs, use the following code:

p {
  color: #000; /*hexadecimal code for black*/
}

Hope this helps.

You have to edit the paragraph tag (<p>):

p {
...
}
