Question regarding pseudo class

Instead of, nav a, nav a:visited { color: #fff; }

could we also have done this to apply visited links style to the whole site? a, a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: #fff; }

Yes it definitely can, you can start with giving you links global styles and then style the ones you want specifically. See here:

a{
   color: red;
} 

a:hover{
   color: blue;
} 

a:active{
   color: green;
} 

a:visited{
   color: white;
} 

/****   nav specific styles   ****/

nav a{
   color: red;
} 

nav a:hover{
   color: blue;
} 

nav a:active{
   color: green;
} 

nav a:visited{
   color: white;
}
