WTF?

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

Is this not the correct code:

p { color: #000; }

Hey I just went through and re-completed that challenge for you and I had no issue with your code. Maybe you need to refresh your browser?

It's the correct code. Check your opening and closing curly braces.

I just checked the challenge and this passes:

p {
  color: #000;
}

Do you possibly have something before or after this that's messing it up?
