Hi Gloria, I believe you can just select your paragraph element and use the background-color property. If you don't want all your paragraphs to be black, I would use a class or ID selector on the paragraph you want to change.

It would be similar to how you targeted your h1 or anchor elements.

Hope this helps

Not very clear, but I see I didn't put h1 in, so maybe that's the problem. will put that in. Thanks
