The hex value for black is 000, so the solution is simply:

p {
  color: #000;
}

You shouldn't post code that doesn't pass...

The post made reference to styling paragraph elements, so I assumed this meant part 2 of challenge, which my code does pass.

The challenge is asking you to select the h1 and h2 tags which you did well. To select an element by tag name in CSS, you just need the tag name as the selector, and you are allowed to have commas between them to tell CSS you want to select multiple things. Inside the body of the h1, h2 rule, you should set the color of all h1 and h2 tags to black.

The challenge is asking you to use the hexadecimal value of white. The hexadecimal value of white is #ffffff which means "pure red, pure green, pure blue" and if you combine all the colors you get white. You can also use the shorthand #fff which is the same as #ffffff.

Solution:

h1, h2 {
    color: #fff;
}

I hope this helps :grin:
