From there you can check out which CSS property changes font color, background color, etc...
You said you wanted the explanation, but if you want more help than that, just let me know!

p {
color: #000;
}

12,390 PointsYou're welcome. Also, most of your time as a developer will be spent looking through documentation, so don't feel bad about having to do it now! That's our life!

3,418 Pointsyou can change whatever you want in your CSS code. Every HTML element has some properties like color, background-color, size, style etc. firstly, you should look which element do you need to add some spesific style and then you should decide to change properties. you said before, black color is #000 in hexcolors. and you said that you need to change paragraph color (font color) to black, and this is how you change it. also if you want to learn more, you need to follow the tracks about html and css. good luck!
