it was explained many times just not with the p tag. 

footer{
  color: green; 
}

was the first example of it given in the first video of the section changing the footer tag text color to green. it's the same thing for the p the selectors can mostly all use the same attributes and values with some exceptions

the p tag is simply

p {
  color: #ff000;
}

for hexidecimal values or

p {
  color: red;
}

for color word values.
