Stuck on Question! How do I color the paragraphs to black?

I cannot figure out how to set the paragraph (p) to black. I thought it would be:

p { color: #111; }

but it is returning "incorrect". Please help!

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 Ellie,

It should be #000 which is mostly common used by developers, let's try it
