Border color won't turn green

I did the right code(hopefully)but the border-color code won't turn green!

a {
text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%;
}

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

a {
  color: #6a}b47b;
}

header {
  background: #6a}b47b;
  border-color: #599a68;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav {
  background: #599a68
}

nav a, nav a:visited {
  color: #fff;
}

Looks like you've got a closing curly brace in the middle of two of your color declarations. See below.

a {
  color: #6a}b47b; /* see the } character in the hex value? */
}

header {
    background: #6a}b47b; /* see the } character in the hex value? */
    border-color: #599a68;
}

Try removing those and see if you're able to pass the task.

Also you may want to give the header a height and width, unless you are just trying to border some text with a pre-defined text size.
