The challenge says select all paragraphs and give them a black color using a hex value.

Code removed as it provided the answer to the task at hand

The word p selects all "<p>" elements or "paragraph" elements on your html file

Hi Les,

The code challenge task is asking you to select all paragraphs and then change their color. As Marco explains above, the word/letter 'p' selects all paragraph elements of the HTML file.

Look at the H1, H2 and A elements, those examples above show how you can target all existences of a type of element within your HTML and modify it via CSS. Carry out the same action for paragraphs by targeting them all with the 'p' (no apostrophes) and the code that would modify their color via hex.
