p { color:#111111 }

Hi there, the task is: style p in black using a hexadecimal code. This is my code: p { color:#111111 }

However, the answer is stated as wrong. Can someone help? Many thanks!

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

h1 {
  color:#ffffff
}

h2 {
  color:#ffffff
}

p {
  color:#111111
}

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

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

Hi Nicole!

You're close! The hexadecimal value for black is #000000 rather than #111111. This can also be shortened to #000 as the zeros are repeated:

p {
    color: #000;
}

As stated above black is #000000. Also, watch out for missing semi-colons (;) at the end of your line of code
