289 PointsHow do I set the color of paragraphs to black using the p selector and a hexadecimal value?
Could swear I was doing this correctly. I need to change paragraph elements to black. I know I have the right hexadecimal value so it's the p selector that I have incorrect.
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
p {
color: #111;
}

Actually you are wrong on both counts there, the p
selector is fine, the hex value is not. Pure black is #000000
or #000
if using the shorter syntax. #111
is certainly blackish, but it's not pure black.
