How do I set the color of paragraphs to black using hexadecimal colors?

I must be overlooking it. I'm stuck on this one.

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

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

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

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

body {
  color: #000;
}

In order to set the color of all p tags to black, you just have to select all p tags, and set the color property to #000, the hexadecimal value for black, like this:

p{
    color: #000;
}

Just to add to Michael's answer, he only used #000 as 3 of the same characters is a simple shortcut for the full code :)
