What am I missing?

I am trying to set the paragraphs to black on my CSS stylesheet. Have I got the wrong selector or value? I'm not sure what I did wrong.

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 {
  color: #111;
}

The color you're using is a little grayish I think and for sure not completely black (like what the code challenge was expecting).

Try using this color instead:

#000

Good luck! ~Alex

That was it! I forgot that 0 was a value so I was quite confused.

Thanks for the quick response! Moving forward.
