2,238 PointsChallenge Task Question stumping me for some reason for CSS.
Here is what the question is saying:
Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value.
This is what I am getting back:
Bummer! Double check that you've styled paragraph (p) elements to be black with a hexidecimal value.
Here is what I was trying to do, at this point I have even researched online for other ways to do it. Am I just not understanding the question? I even tried to 'style' it which I didn't think was used on the .css.
p { color: #111111; }

Courses Plus Student 45,640 PointsYou're using the wrong hex value. Complete black is #000000

I like to use http://html-color-codes.info/ when I'm trying to figure out color codes.
