Bummer! Double check that you've styled paragraph (p) elements to be black with a hexidecimal value.
Whats wrong with my code?
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff
}

As Luca pointed out, the color code for black is #000000
, or the shorthand version #000
.

231,198 Points Semicolons are only necessary between properties.
Having one after the last (or only) one is good practice but causes no problem if absent.
Kelvin Ribeiro
2,814 PointsTrue but I assumed the website checks if you inputted the right code by comparing to the code they have. If that's the case I'm pretty sure the semicolons are the ones missing. Even though he wrote black in here, on the challenge itself is telling him to turn it white, so that shouldn't be the problem.

231,198 PointsThe correct color code will pass the challenge. Try it yourself and see.
Kelvin Ribeiro
2,814 Pointsi just did, the code was h1, h2 { color: #fff; } The question is asking to make it white.
Steven Parker
231,198 PointsRead the original question again, it's about a different task.
Kelvin Ribeiro
2,814 Pointsyeeh i realized it said black on the question. I thought that by clicking "view challenge" i'd be sent to the actually challenge the student was having problems with and there said white.

black in hexidecimal is #00000. #ffffff is white.
