I can't figure out what's wrong with my code! Please help!

I'm feel like I'm sure that this code is right, but I keep getting stuck. Can somebody please tell me what's wrong so I can move on? The "helpful" hint in the after the "bummer!" really isn't helping because I HAVE done everything it asked me to do, I've just done it wrong, apparently.

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

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

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

h1, h2{
  color: #fff;
}

p{
  color: #111;
}

Hi Alice,

What is the task you're trying to complete?

Let me know, and I'll try to take a look and see what I can recommend.

I believe that task is asking you to set the p elements on the page to the color black. The hex value for black is #000 not #111

The challenge is to color all the p elements on the page black. The correct hexadecimal value for black is:

p{
color: #000;
}
