}

For hex colors the length should be either 3 or 6, so

color: #000;

or

color: #000000;

would work.

If you want to change the color of a link you're hovering over you want to create a new CSS rule. Instead of using "a" as the selector, you'll want to use a:hover. You can then add whatever property and value you want to that. So, it would look like this...

a:hover { color: #000; }

When you add semicolon and a state such as hover to a selector, you are using a pseudo-class. There are several and it's worth looking up more information about them.
