The quiz following the video "Use Classes in CSS" asks how to set the color of Paragraphs but this wasn't covered!

Material wasn't covered

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

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

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

  color: #fff;
}

Hi,

as you can see there are different css selector to style your content:

Element selector: you simply type the element that you want to style and the property inside the curly braces.

style.css 
/* element selector */
a {
  /* your style goes here */
}

ID selector: always start with # sign

style.css 
/* ID selector */
#your-id {
    /* your style goes here */  
}

Class selector: start with a .

style.css 
/* class selector */
.your-class {
    /* your style goes here */  
}

So if need to style a paragraph element, which in html is the p tag, what selector would you use?

The first example in this docs can help you! :wink:

Thanks, the link that you provided was very helpful. I'm certain that this was covered in the video prior to the quiz.
