Set the color of paragraphs to black using hexadecimal values?

Not sure what to write here. Would it be p { color: ; } and the hexadecimal value for black in that space?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}
a {
  color: #ffffff;
}
h1,h2 {color: #fff;}

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

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

Hi Jimel, you've got it right. Any of following will turn the text of your paragraphs black:

p { color: #000; }

p { color: #000000;}

p {color: black;}

Are you asking what the hexadecimal value for black is? If that is the case it is #000000 or #000 for short. If not, could you clarify your question?
