Hi Veronica,

The following code will set the paragraph to black:

p {color: #000;}

Here is info from w3schools on the paragraph tag and this is the info on the hex codes.

Hope that helps :)

Hey Veronika.

You can use a tool like http://www.color-hex.com/ to find out the hex value of any colour

Once you have the Hex value, you want to create a new css selector to target the paragraph element

p{
color: hexvalue;
}
