Hey guys,
During exercise: “Challenge Task 2 of 4 - Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value” I got stuck. When trying to make the body text black using the code below I don’t get the desired results.
body { color: #000; }
Please help me out. How do I style the paragraph elements only to black in such a way that the quiz accepts.
Thanks! Joey

p { color: #000; }

000000
