Nav elements are not changing to white.

I have followed along entering the CSS but the text in my nav is not changing to white. I double checked it and don't see anything missing.

I THINK I spotted the problem. Your nav a:visited is misspelled.

Kate, Here is the CSS -

a { text-decoration: none; }

wrapper {

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

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

a { color: #6ab47b; }

header { background: #6ab47b; border-color: #599a68; }

h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

nav { background: #599a68; }

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

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

Thank you Sau. I can't believe I didn't see that. I knew it had to be something simple like that.
