How do you set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value? I don't remember that portion.

Someone help please.

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

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

The code you will need will not be much different than what you already have. The trick lies in adjusting the color and and selecting the element. Here you will select paragraph. You are already assigning colors to elements with hexadecimal, but none of them are black. Take a look at what you need.

p {
    color: #000;
}

Happy coding!
