I'm not getting the results as demonstrated.

The bar is black, but the About text is red and white when I hover over it. What's the problem?

This is the line of code that should render the color white, but the color I am getting is red. When I hover over About the color turns from red to white. .nav-menu li a { color: #fff; }

It sounds like you've got another element in your style.css that may be overriding the .nav-menu li a. Can you post your whole CSS file?

@import "../twentythirteen/style.css";

.navbar { background-color: #220e10; }

.nav-menu li a { color: #fff; }
