"Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value"
simple enough to write the code to the specific element/thing and set the right color (#000?) but don't recall what a paragraph is in css...

p{
color:#000000;
}

<p>Some text</p>
In HTML you could have easily written your content without the use of the <p*>* tag. So why use it?
When you write text in HTML without it being embedded inside a tag like h1, h2, the browser will interpret it as it is. The paragraph tag like Julian rightly mentioned is to select a paragraph and thus will properly indent the text within the p tag in a new line, like an actual paragraph
Hope it helps

3,061 Pointsokey, but this is sort of like a assignment they have here and the task is "Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value"
this is the code, in CSS
a { text-decoration: none; }
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
h1, h2 { color: #fff; }
there is no HTML just CSS since I have to change the color of the paragraphs, and i feel like i have tried everything, but its probably something simple I have forgotten.
really appreciate the help!
