Could you please tell me what is wrong with the following? p { color #111 }

It is telling me I am wrong but I can't figure out why?

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

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

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}
h1,h2 {
  color: #fff
}
p {
  color: #111
}

It looks like you're missing the closing semi-colon on the last two color values. Try this:

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}
h1,h2 {
  color: #fff;  // this semi-colon was missing
}
p {
  color: #000;  // this semi-colon was missing, color wrong
}

Also, the color for paragraphs needs to be black which is #000 and not #111 which is a shade lighter than true black.

The hex code for black is #000 or #000000.

You should also be putting semicolons on the end of your statements as Ron suggested.
