.navbar { background-color: #220e10; }
.nav-menu li a { color: #fff; }
About is color: #bc360; font-style: italic should be color: #fff;
What is you theory?

Courses Plus Student 46,022 PointsSo, you're trying to work on a child theme for WordPress's default Twenty Thirteen theme, and you're trying to change the color of the links in the navigation. That second CSS rule that you set should change the color to white, but it's not for some reason.
First off, the About link does not have a valid hex color value. The format is either
#fffwith three characters (excluding the hashtag) or#ffffffwith six characters (excluding the hashtag again). Yours is only five characters. Are you sure you copied it correctly?Also, is the first rule working? Is the background color of
.navbaractually#220e10, and can you see it in your browser?
