The question reads: Set the color of anchor elements inside the nav element to white using a hexadecimal value.

The answer I provided is:

nav a { color: #000; }

The Code Challenge system is rejecting my response. Please help!

Muneer

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;
}

Hi Muneer, your code is correct but your color is wrong. Remember 0 is the absence of any light, so 000 is basially black. Remember #FFF is white.

Thank you guys, I was going nuts over code itself. These hexadecimal color codes are a nightmare!

Remember Google is your best friend incase you don't have Photoshop or anything like that. Here is a website you can get the color codes from http://www.color-hex.com/

Fernando Boza is correct. I also use this one: https://color.adobe.com. Also very nice if you're looking for a color theme and can't quite get one working for yourself.
