Challenge Task 2 of 4 Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value.
I can't make the challenge work, when i type it in my own domain it sets the paragraphs to black but doesn't do it when i take the challenge. I know i have to be more precise than the browser to overwrite a href link that is blue in default so I type:
section p { color: #111; }
This won't work for me, do I have to be even more precise?
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
section p {
color: #111;
}

Black in hexadecimal is #000000 or #000 (For short).
For reference, check out the HTML Color Picker.
Edit: I should also mention that you only need to select the paragraph tag (p) in order to pass the challenge.
p {
color: #000;
}
Best,
Jacob
