How do I do the hover color?

I'm not sure if I need separate nav selector or not. I tried it nested within the first nav and then by itself.

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;
}

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

Hey Andrew,

You are so close with your code! They want to change the text color not the background-color because you have the selector right hint hint :)

Oh duh! I completely overlooked "background-".

Thanks Marcus (~Λ˜β–ΎΛ˜)~
