Why p { color: #111;} in CSS file not changing the paragraph in index.html to black. In workspace its perfectly working.

p { color: #111;} is not changing the paragraph color to black. In workspace its changing to black.

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

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

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

h1, h2{color: #fff;}
p { color: #111;}

Hey Debajyoti,

The hexadecimal color for true black is #000 (or long version #000000). The color #111 is lighter than true black. So, you should change #111 to #000.
