To set the color of all paragraphs, your code should look like:

p { color: #2d2d2d; /* or whatever the color is. */ } I hope this helps.

To set the color of paragraphs to a hexadecimal value you use the hash tag followed by a set of characters that resemble individual colors. For example to turn the paragraphs text white you would write:

P { Color: #fff; }
