when adding the darker green to the border color and save it, I don't see a any changes to the colors.

Everything still looks as though it has the light green color around the header (no differentiation)

here is the code (note changed color to an even darker green to see if i can produce similar results but still nothing):

a { text-decoration: none; }

wrapper {

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

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

a { color: #6ab47b; }

header { background: #6ab47b; border-color: #0E420E; }

h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

nav { background: #0E420E: }

nav a, nav a:visisted { color: #fff; }

Hi There,

It looks like you have a colon instead of a semi-colon behind your hex color on your nav {background} line.

Was that in the original code?

Good luck!
