Hi Elizabeth

It literally just wants you to select all of the paragraph elements and set them to blue so there's need to try to specify individual classes, etc.

As Blerta as suggested you just need to specify the paragraph elements using p selector and use the color property to set the value to blue. As below:

p {
   color: blue;
}

Hope it helps!
