Hi Daniel, To set the color of a paragraph to black you can simply use:

p {
color:  #000;
}

For the color you could use black, #000, #000000. These should all render the same in the browser. To select the paragraph tag using CSS use 'p' (without the quotes). Hope this helps!

To set the color of all paragraphs to black, you should do this:

p {
    color: black;
}

Good luck! ~alex
