Your CSS code is selecting a paragraph this is nested inside of an html element with the classes "entry" as well as "content". So an html element like this one would be styled:

<div class="entry content">
    <p></p>
</div>

However you are trying to style all of the paragraph's text color. A general p selector is enough; like so:

p {
  color: blue;
}

EDIT:

Sorry I didn't pay attention to the color key value when I quoted his code. Of course without quotation marks, when using color codes!

Small correction, just so that Walid doesn't get confused - the color name won't work with quotations around it, it should look like this

p {
  color: blue;
}
