a { text-decoration: none; }
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
h1, h2 { color: #fff; }
p { color: 00000; }

Yes you forgot to add (#) before hexadecimal value. make it #00000 (#000) and it'll work. i was doing this type of mistake in my past. keep practicing.
Best of luck

You've pretty much got it, except you are missing a 0 (you only have five and hex colors need 6 or 3 for shorthand).
just use #000000 or #000 and you're good to go.
Jason :)

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsIn the code you posted above, you are missing the # sign before the hex number. Sorry, I didn't mention that in the first response.

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsIf that doesn't solve the problem, let me know. :)
p { color: #000000; }

1,967 PointsIt worked!! by any chance do you know what I did wrong? I am very new to coding.

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsYou just forgot the number sign(#) before the numbers. (A common mistake and easy to miss). You had 000000. Should be #000000
Just remember, if you're using RGB colors, it is just numbers with no sign (eg 255, 23, 2). Hexadecimal colors need to be declared with the # sign (eg #df3345).
Hope that helps. Happy Coding! :)
