How do you add a hover color in css to a nav link?

I am trying to add a css styling where when you hover over a nav link, it turns another color. Does anyone have any advice?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
  color: #FFFFFF;
}
p {
  color: #000000;
}
nav a {
  color: #FFFFFF;
}
nav.link :hover {
    color: #32673f;
}
