Remember that the lowest amount of color in hexadecimal is represented by 0 and F represents the highest amount of color. So, a hex value of #FFFFFF is the full amount of color possible or white. While #000000 is the lowest amount of color or black. 

h1 {
  color: #FFFFFF; /* white */
}

p {
  color: #000000; /* black */
}
