Your problem makes sense now.  Sorry for the confusion.

It's a concept called css specificity 
(http://www.onderhond.com/blog/work/css-specificity).

If you apply underline to "aboutmepara" then the underline cascades down 
into the two P tags.  When you apply a color it cascades down into the 
2nd P tag because the "two" P has no color setting.  The "one" P has a 
color setting though, and this color setting is more specific than the 
color setting of "aboutmepara" so it does not cascade down.  Let me know 
if this is still confusing because without an understanding of 
specificity you'll find yourself in a world of confusion trying to 
figure out why some things apply and others don't.
