For every paragraph element change the color to be blue. i can not figure it out im stuck

this has been one complex course

app.js 
const section = document.querySelector('section');
let paragraphs = section.children;

}
for (let i=0;i<paragraphs.length;i+=1){
  section(paragraphs[i]);

}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Child Traversal</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <section>
            <p>This is the first paragraph</p>
            <p>This is a slightly longer, second paragraph</p>
            <p>Shorter, last paragraph</p>
        </section>
        <footer>
            <p>&copy; 2016</p> 
        </footer>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Hello! you are very close!

in this declaration, let paragraphs = section.children; you have already stored the child elements of section into the variable "paragraphs"

so, in your for loop, you just need something like this:

paragraphs[i].style.color = '';

no need to declare "section" again...

Hope this helps!
