Why set the <a> tag to the same green as the header background?

Is that just for future links in the body?

answere is simple because if you make

<a href=""> <header></header> </a>

its will works but your code is INVALID HTML / HTML5 code

and he want make whole header as A tag so with href check standards in Mozila MDN : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML

Thanks Patrik! My question, though, was about the color. I didn't know why he colored the font within his anchor tags the same color as his header color (making it so you couldn't see the links) ... but I realized it was a dumb question because he wasn't specifically styling the header; he just wanted all his link fonts to be that color throughout the site. But thanks for replying.
