Not getting a border color where my name is

My border color is set to green, but comes out white when I refresh the URL.

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

#logo {
 text-align: center;
  margin:0;
}

a {
 color: #007ba7; 
}

header {
   color: #007ba7; 
   border-color: #599a68;
}


h1, h2 {
  color:#007ba7;
}

nav {
  background: #599a68; 
}

I've added some formatting and syntax highlighting for your code. You can do this using the following markdown:

Welcome to Treehouse!

Looks like you haven't defined a border, so setting the color won't have an effect. Try using the border shorthand.

header {
  /* border: border-width border-style border-color; */
  border: 5px solid #599a68;
}

Hopefully that helps, but please let me know if you have any questions! Happy coding! :)
