How to style paragraph (p) element to look like a hexadecimal

The task asked to set the color of the paragraph to a hexadecimal for black. And I thought #000000; is the code for the color. Yet when I input this code it asked to check the paragraph (p) element?

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}
h1,h2 {
  color: #000000;
}

p {
  color: #000;
}

Agree - you copy/pasted you h1 h2 selector but didn't change them to p.

I can't find the p element at the css file.

Have you tried calling the p element? like this:

p { color: #000; }
