Button Text Turns White When Hovered

I'm redesigning the website for my company without using Bootstrap, and it's going well. However, in my navbar, when I hover over Contact Us, and any other nav li with a a tag in it, the text is white. How can I fix this?

Try to add this:

.navbar li a:hover { color: #E04E32; }

That worked, however as you'll see at http://codepen.io/snapapps/pen/szoaK, there's a weird space in the button.

You could try to remove the padding-left in the class .navbar a

.navbar a { display: inline; font-family: 'Inder'; //padding-left: 0; -> remove this line color: white; }
