Hi,

What is the code challenge asking?

For the last challenge it wants you to style the links in nav only. So nav a:hover {color: #32673f;}

The wording of the challenge should be changed to reflect this.

It's How To Make A Website / Customizing Colors and Fonts - Write Hexadecimal Colors code challenge http://teamtreehouse.com/library/write-hexadecimal-colors

The question was:

Add a hover state for navigation links that changes the text color to the value #32673f

the correct hex code is #32673f

I've just checked this and it passed.

Reading that question again, it does in fact make sense, but when I first did it I also just styled all links instead of just the nav links. Perhaps the question could be reworded to say "Add a hover state for anchor elements inside the nav element that changes the text color to the value #32673f". This would also be consistent with the previous question.
