Hi there! The challenge does accept #fff as a valid color. The problem here is that you have tried to combine two rules in one. You've put the rule for nav a and the rule nav a:hover in the same one. This won't work (at least not like you're expecting). The result will be that both will have a text color of #32673f. You need a separate rule for each.

nav a {
  color: #fff; 
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

Now a link will have white text. But when we hover over it, the link will be the medium green given by #32673f. Hope this helps! :sparkles:

it looks like it wont accept a 3 letter hex code try this instead:

h1, h2{
  color: #ffffff;
}

treehouse can be finicky like that
