Hi, please solve this problem: Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value.

What's the "paragraphs"? i don't know! Problem: Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}
a { text-decoration: none; }
#wrapper { max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }
#logo { text-align: center; margin: 0; }
h1, h2 { color: #000000; }
p { color: #000 }
nav a { color: #000000 } 
nav a:hover { color: #000000; }

Paragraph color is set by changing the color value to the hexidecimal for black - to select the paragraphs you need to change the css using the paragraph selector - 'p'.

In your code I can see you are missing a semi-colon on the end of your property value which may be causing the error.

You're missing a semi-colon on your paragraph rule. CSS attributes should always have a semi-colon in the end.

p { color: #000; }

Remember always to have a semi-colon.

Cheers!
