Are you working on the Fonts & Colors code challenge? Your color codes will go in the style.css file. For setting font colors, you can just use the color attribute, such as:

color: #000000;

for setting the font to black. You can set the color right after you set the font-family.

Under the font-family line in style.css type:

font-color: #FAF3BC;

Under the font-family line in style.css type:

font-color: #FAF3BC;

If you're talking about using hex codes as colours in CSS, simply replace your colour short code (e.g. Black) with the hex code (e.g. #000000).

So your CSS might look like this: body { background-color: #000000; }

You can put hex in almost all the properties that needs color definitions example

Inline Examples <p style="color:#000000;"></p> <p style="background-color:#000000;"></p> also can be used for border-color

in css sheet

p{ color:#000000; background-color:000000; }

Y#ffff can use the hex before a color for example background-color: #000;

It can also be used in css when adding styles to a div id. For example:

wrapper {

   bacground-color: #fff;

}
