The CSS to make your paragraph text black should look something like this:

p {
    color: #000000;
}

Try this:

a { text-decoration: none; }

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

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

h1, h2 { color:#fff; }

nav { background: #599a68; }

nav a, nav a: visited { color:#fff; }

nav a. selected, nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }

body p { color: #000; /I dont know where you want this color color:#949/ }
