Ana Kore u should understand how to use HEX values. Do u understand why Dov Breuer gave u only #000 instead of #000000 ?

U could also write is as:

background: black;

or u could specify it in a rgb value like so:

background: rgb(0,0,0);

or:

background: HSL(0, 0%, 0%);

happy coding ! :)

As I understood, #000 and #000000 for black, #fff and #ffffff for white - is the same. Thanks for your answer :) will do my best
