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

Second code challenge question

I'm not seeing from the Stage 5 lessons on CSS & color and class how to set the color of a paragraph. I know what the hexadecimal code is for that color (black, #000), but I don't know the syntax of commanding it for the paragraph (p) element. I had no trouble with the first task, based on the videos, but the second one is stopping me, and the hint doesn't help.

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}

If I understand your question, then what you're looking for is this:

p {

  color: #000;

}

FYI #fff is the color white. You're looking for the color black which is #000. Don't understand, go to w3schools.com and in the search box type in hexdecimal, click on CSS Color Values. That should give some hints to the code challenge.
