In CSS you can select the paragraph tag and style it by typing p followed by curly-brackets and your styling within those brackets. Like his

p {
    color: #000;
}

The color is defined by its mix of Red, Green and Blue, each of which can be in the range 00 to FF (in hexadecimal). I have written the shorthand for RGB, with only one value per color. #000 is the same as #000000;
