this challenge isn't clear? when you say paragraph I presume you mean body??

I presume you want me to change the text on the footer (body) to black? and if so it hasn't worked for me at all

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

body {
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #000;
}

Hi Paul,

Do you mean this one?

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

If so, it needs to be applied to the paragraph tags, so:

p {color: #000;}

Hope that helps
