Code not accepted in code challenge....why?

I am really confused why this is not being accepted:

p { color: #111111; }

It has asked you to set the color of a paragraph to black using a hexidecimal color. I'm sure I'm being a fool but would appreciate the help. Thanks

It's because #000 is pure black
