Add a hover state for navigation links that changes the text color to the value #32673f.

nav a: hover { color: #32673f; }

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

p {
  color: #000000;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}
nav a hover{
  color: #32673f;
}

this is a simple fix. you just missed the colon

so your css should look like

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

Hi, Jared.

You're very close. You just need a colon, and no spaces between "a" and "hover" example

nav a:hover {}

Good luck
