I' having trouble figuring out why my code doesn't work:

p {

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

Hi Alexander!

Your code for hover should look like this: nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }

"hover" is a pseudo-class just like we saw with the "nav a, nav a:visited" css rule.

To apply a pseudo-class you've to use the ":" just after the selector. In your case "a".

The correct code is therefore: ```css nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }

nav a.hover is a css selector that selects the anchor element inside the nav element with the class hover.
