It says to check my hexidecimal value. Is black not #000?

I'm not sure exactly what I'm missing here.

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

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

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

h1 , h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

p {
  background-color: #000;
}

Hey, try changing the color, rather than the background-color ;)

Hi Anthony, OK, Everything is fine just remove the background and leave the color only exactly as in h1, h2. a { text-decoration: none; }

wrapper {

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

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

p { color: #000; }

you do not need to type color.

p { background: #000; }

The question wasn't clear and it needed to be color, not background-color which is the same thing as background. Thanks!
