Add a hover state for navigation links that changes the text color to the value #32673f. a.hover {color:#32673f} wrong

I put in:

a.hover{ color: #32673f; }

was wrong on quiz.

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; 
}

If I remember that exercise correctly, you may are missing the nav part. I think it was something like this:

nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }

Also, try using a:hover and NOT a.hover

Good luck!

Thank you. In the example they used a dot, but when this property is by itself you use colon? I went to a website & saw it was a colon too. Great response time!

Try this:

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

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

Remember that a period (.) in the selector identifies a class. A colon (:) indicates a pseudo-class.

Eliana's suggested answer is correct.
