CSS challenge

Hi there, Can anyone help me with the challenge. Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value. What´s the value for paragraph? Isn´t it p?

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: 000000;
}

Hi, you forget the # symbol, you can also right the color value like:

000, #000000, rgb(0,0,0) or black

Using inspect element to aid in customizing CSS is very helpful. Use specification to target the elements you want to add CSS to. Examples: nav > a { color: #000; } nav a { color: #000; }
