p {color: #111;} is wrong. Why?

Why is p {color: #111;} wrong? Keeps saying it is wrong.

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

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

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}
 h1, h2 {
   color: #fff;
 }

p { color: #111;}

Try changing the color from #111 which is not true black to #000, this should work for this challenge. Good luck!

Hi Clinton! The color #111 is in fact a very, very, very dark grey. Black is meant to be a "no-color" value. In this case, #000.
