Double check that you have set your paragraph color to black?

How do I do this I re watched video but I must have missed.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto; 
  padding: 0 5%;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

a {
  color: #6ab47b:
}

Header {
  background: #6ab47b
    border-color:88a59;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav {
  background: #599ab8;
}

nav a, nav a:visited {
  color: #aaa
}

nav a.slected, nav a:hover {
 color: #32673f; 
}

body {
 background-color: #fff;
  color: #999;

Do you mean the color of the text in your paragraph elements? -ie, 

<p>The words you'd find in here?</p>

If so, in CSS you'd just set up a new rule using "p" as your selector. Then you'd use the "color" attribute to edit font color, and then the hexidecimal value "#00000" or "#000" for black. All in all, would look something like:

p {
color: #000;
}
