Hi Charlie,

The question is giving you clues on what elements it is referring to.

"Set the color of paragraphs to black using a hexadecimal value."

'p' is the selector for the Paragraph element.

Here is the solution to the second step of the challenge.

p {
  color: #000;
}

'color' is the style attribute you are effecting. Then you add the '#' before the Hexadecimal value. I'd explain hex values, but it might be easier to just follow this link... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal)

do you know how to style p elements in css?, for example p { color: #FFF; } would style the p elements with the hex color white
