I'm not setting the color of the paragraph to black right.

Getting message that says to double check that I've styled h1 elements to be white with a hexidecimal value. Here is the code I put in:

Do I need an h1 code in as well? I'm not sure how this should look...And I have rewatched the video.

paragraph {

color: #000; }

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

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

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

#paragraph {
   color: #000;
}

Hi there,

Try replacing your #paragraph style rule with 

h1 {
  color: #fff;
}

The hexadecimal for the brightest shade of a colour is F rather than 0 so 3 F's as a hexadecimal value will equate to white. :-)

just to add you didn't need the # before h1 that was my mistake.

H1 is just your bog standard element selector for selecting level 1 heading elements :-)
