How do I change the color of paragraphs in CSS using hexadecimal colors?

I've reviewed the 2 previous videos a few times and they do not show or explain how to do this.

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

The paragraph selector is p

so it would be:

p { color: [insert hexadecimal]; }

You will find moving forward on Treehouse that not all questions and code challenges are a direct copy of the previous video lesson. This is where inquiry learning has to come in

You demonstrated how to change the color of the headlines. Paragraphs are the exact same but you switch which selector you are selecting

p {
  color: #000;
}
