Setting colour of paragraphs to black

Hi, 'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. In the challenge, it says to set the colour of paragraph elements to black. I think either I missed something or just don't completely get it. Help please. I put a { colour:#000;} to do I think the paragraph elements is referring to the text in the body? TIA

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

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

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

h1,h2 {
color:#fff;
}

a {
color: #000;
}

"a" tags are for links. "p" tags are for paragraphs. So you just need to make it a "p".

p {
   color: #000;
}

Exactly what Kevin said. You just accidentally have attributes for 2 "a" elements instead of one for "p". You are really close.

Best of luck.
