HTML How to Make a Website Customizing Colors and Fonts Write Hexadecimal Colors

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

How to do this? I know I need to reference my nav links and assign them the value of the color #32673f, but I'm unsure of the syntax, and going back to look at the video is slow.

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:#fff;//#fff is white 
}

Reviewing the video might be slow, the forum could be slower. You're best bet when you don't remember syntax, and what you want to do for your entire coding career is build an arsenal of web resources you can reference, like this one: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/selectors/h/hover/

Yes reviewing the videos can take time but it's still helpful to go back through them. If you are simply just wanting the answer, without putting the effort in to attempt the challenges, then you can find the answers somewhere in the forum or with a quick google search. However, if you are really wanting to learn, it's worth it to go back through and review so that the information really sticks with you.

I seem to be learning well so far, and I had to ask a question on this one because the syntax wasn't already on the forum. I'm not trying to rush through stuff with no real effort of my own, and I definitely want to learn as best I can, I'm just trying to work as quickly and efficiently as possible.
