Why do my color shows differently from what it should be?

In this http://teamtreehouse.com/library/websites/build-a-simple-website/styling-content/fonts-and-colors stage, I added to my style.css following code: a { color: 4FB69F; text-decoration: none; }

but the color of these Hyperlinks end up showing in my browser(tested from firefox and chrome both) a different color from 4FB69F should present.. check in http://ipv6.zxq.net/bakin/

You have forgot to put the # sign before your hex code. It should be #4FB69F .. Give this a try, it should work.

a { color: #4FB69F; text-decoration: none; }
