how to set hover state

How do you set the hover state i tried nav:hover{color: #32673f; } but it did not work

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: #000; 
}

nav a {
  color: #fff; 
}



nav.selected,nav : hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

Your're almost there but you don't put any spaces in your selector, otherwise CSS won't recognise it as a pseudo element.

nav.selected, nav:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

This is how you need to declare it. :) Good luck.

You referring to this?

/* nav link */
nav a, nav a:visited {
  color: #fff;
}

/* selected nav link */
nav a.selected, nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}
