Hi Zoe,

The hexidecimal value of black is #000000.

So you would type:

p { 
color: #000;
}

In a hex value, the first 2 digits are for red, the next two for green and the last two for blue. You can create pretty much every color with this combination. 0 is the lowest value and F is the highest value. 0=0 1 =1 2=2 3-3 4=4 5=5 6=6 7=7 8=8 9=9 A=10 B=11 C=12 D=13 E=14 F=15

So, color #FF0000 would be all red. #00FF00 would be all green and so on. #FFFFFF would be white and then, of course, #000000 is all black.

In css, when you have a hex that has all the same values, like #000000, you can shorthand it to #000.
