How do you set the color of a paragraph in a css file? I don't really understand the requirement

I don't understand exactly what the questions requires me to do. It says I should change the color of paragraphs to black.

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: #color key code here ;
}

This will change the color in all of your paragraphs. If you are targeting a specific paragraph then you might consider using an id selector which would be like this:

#someId{
  color: #color key code here ;
}

Note that you can use keywords, hex, or Red Green Blue color values (rgb) to change colors. Check out this link for some additional information!
