I do not understand task 2 of 4, please help me.

Task: Set the color of paragraphs to black using the p selector and a hexadecimal value

Bummer! Double check that you've styled paragraph (p) elements to be black with a hexidecimal value.

a { text-decoration: none; }

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

/* logo text */ h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

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

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

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

/* logo text */
h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

You are currently not doing anything with your paragraph tags. If you want to set the color of all paragraphs to black, you should implement the following property to your CSS file:

p {
    color: #000;
}

I’m on my phone so I can’t check the objective right now but it looks like you are setting the color of the elements inside the Paragraph, not the Paragraph itself:

p{ color #fff; }

If that doesn’t work I apologize and when I get home I will see what I can do.
