I'm stuck on one of the code challenges where it says " set the color of paragraphs to black in hexadecimal color"

Black is #000000 in hex.

Just type color: #000000;

You can also use the hexadecimal shorthand of #000 for black. Check out https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3801 for a bit more information about hex shorthand notation.
