289 PointsCSS cide challenge issue (Challenge task 2 of 4): Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value
Challenge task 2 of 4 in CSS - Im stuck!
Task: Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value
The code I entered:
header { background: #6ab47b: border color: #599a68: }
h1, h2 { color: #fff; }
nav a, nav a:visited { color: #040000; }
body { background-color; #fff; color: #040000; }
Note: checked the w3schools page, and #040000 is the hex code I got for black.
Result:
Bummer! Double check that you've styled paragraph (p) elements to be black with a hexidecimal value.
Your help and feedback is much greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Justine

So in your CSS file you should've typed in: p{ color:#000; }
