Instead of adding the hex code on a separate line, try erasing the word “black” and replace it with the hex code:
<style>
body {
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
I hope this helps.

“color” is a different style property (it sets text color), so while meaning to use the hex value for black(#000000) to set the background color instead of the color name, you’ve accidentally got black text on black background!
That makes it very hard to read!!

Use #000, the short version of #000000.
