I am unable to get colors and my text align in center.

I have the same file as Nick but not getting the same result.

Could you add your code in a code block? :) It'd help a ton with finding an answer! Use the Markdown Cheatsheet (link located below the text field you're typing in) for a quick lesson on how to do that!

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

a {
  color: #6ab47b;
}

header {
  background: #6ab47b;
  border-color: #599a68;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav {
  background: #599a68;
}

nav a, nav a:visited {
  color: #fff;
}

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

I got the color, but now i cannot get it in the center and also the hover does not work.

Hey there Vrund Patel!

In your rule for the selected and hover, it appears you're missing a comma after "selected"

nav a.selected, nav a:hover { color: #32673f;
}

This should fix your hover state color!

Hi vrund,

There is supposed to be 2 selectors here separated with a comma. nav a.selected nav a:hover

Should be nav a.selected, nav a:hover

Is it the headings in your logo that are not being centered? If so, post the header section of your html.

Also, I fixed your code formatting. You want to use the backtick which is usually located above the tab key on the keyboard instead of the single quote.
