if you're trying to change the color of the < p > element then you need to use 

p {
  color: #000000;
}

instead of

{
  paragraphs: #000000;
}

hope that helps! :)

Hi, Connor, I moved your comment into an answer, because this really is a perfectly good answer to the question; I also wrapped your code using Markdown block to make it look a little nicer. :)

As an addition to the previous answer, due to the cascading nature of CSS, I tend to put all my selectors in the order they are on the page so my CSS file(s) are easier to search through for amendments. So, for example, my <p> styling would normally go between my "header" and "footer" so I know where to find it.
