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

Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value.

I am on Stage 5 and on step 2 of 4 on the challenge test that's asking me to set the color of paragraphs.

I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong, I check my preview and it shows the font in black, but it won't let me proceed.

I used:

p { color: #111; }

The hexadecimal value for black is #000, #111 looks pretty similar but its more of a really dark grey.

Hope this helps!

Hahahah thank you so much :)

No problem :)
