Red highlighted code?

I was working on "How to Make a Website" when my heading in the preview changed. Im not sure if I messed something up in the code, it should be green. I'm just following along with the video.

/******************************** GENERAL ********************************/

body { font-family: 'Open Sans, sans-serif;
}

wrapper {

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

a { text-decoration: none; }

/******************************** HEADING ********************************/

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

h1 { font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif; margin: 15px 0; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 0.8em; }

h2 { font-size: 0.75em; margin: -5px 0 0; font-weight: normal; }

/******************************** NAVIGATION ********************************/

nav { text-align: center; padding: 10px 0; margin: 20px 0 0;

/******************************** FOOTER ********************************/

footer { font-size: 0.75em; text-align: center; padding-top: 50px; color: #ccc; }

/******************************** COLORS ********************************/

/* site body */ body { background-color: #fff; color: #999; }

/* green header*/ header { background: #6ab47b; border-color: #599a68' }

/* logo text */ h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

/* nav background on mobile */ nav { background: #599a68; }

/* links */ a { color: #6ab47b; }

/* nav link*/ nav a, nav a:visited { color: #fff; }

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

I'm not sure if this will fix the issue, but you have a small typo in your header border-color value. The statement is ended with a single quote rather than a semicolon. It also looks like the nav property is missing a closing curly brace.

Hey Edgar, I see the problem. Under the colors section, look for the following line:

/* green header*/ header { background: #6ab47b; border-color: #599a68' }

/*Take out the apostrophe at the end and replace it with a semicolon*/

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