What am I missing when I add a hover state for navigation colors?

here is what I have: nav a: hover { color: #32673f; }

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}
h1,h2{
  color: #fff;
}
p {
color: #000;
}
nav a{
  color: #fff;
}
nav a: hover{
  color: #32673f;
}

Hey Jackie,

You're really close...

While Whitespace normally doesn't matter in CSS, it is very important when assigning pseudo elements. You can't have a space after the colon. So a: hover needs to be a:hover.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
