how do I , add a hover state for navigation links that changes the text color to the value #32673f.

I'm doing a code challenge at the moment and one of the question is to Add a hover state for navigation links that changes the text color to the value #32673f. Which I have done but it seems to be incorrect. Anyone know what I have done wrong?

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

Hi Catriona,

By placing a comma between two elements, like so:

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

it means you are selecting both the nav a in the normal state, and the nav a in the hover state.

You need to make a separate style to just target the a:hover, like so:

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

Hope that helps,

Ede
