nav a {} isn't working as selecting the links within the nav

In the question where I have to set the color of the anchor elements within the nav element to white using a hexadecimal value, my answer is not being accepted.

I answered with:

nav a { color: #000; }

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: #000;
}

Hey Charles,

Remember that white is #fff or #ffffff.

Hi Charles,

You're simply using the wrong hex code. #000 is BLACK. You want #fff for WHITE. 

nav a {color: #fff}
