30,003 PointsHello, Harry. Use the paragraph selector "p" in your CSS file. inside the brackets you can set the color. In CSS a hexadecimal color value looks like a "#" sign followed by 6 numbers/letters. Example: #FFFFFF is equal to white. If the numbers are repeating such as the example above you can often short hand it by simply entering only three(half) of the value. Example: #FFF is still equal to white. The value for black is #000000 or #000. Now that you know how it works you can try to it out. It should look similar to this.
I hope this helps. Code on!
p {
color: #000000;
}
