Question on my header color

Hi awesome Treehouse folk,

Curious as to why the header (h1 and h2) do not appear in white. Do I have to include the anchor elements as selectors in my css?

Here's my code:

header {

background: #6ab47b; border-color: #599a68;

}

header {

color: #fff;

}

if you have an anchor in a container(div, h1, p, etc) and you set the color value white for the container, the anchor will remain blue. You have to specify the anchor too, header a{ color:white;}
