Navigation links showing as purple inside white boxes, instead of just being white themselves.

I'm sure it has something to do with the code I wrote in my index.html file, but I can't seem to find the error. https://w.trhou.se/sj8ezm48cn

You are adding the white background on line 33 of your main.css.

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

If you are wanting the text to be white without a background you can try targeting the anchor tags inside of nav and changing the color to white and removing the above css.

nav a{
    color:#ffffff;
}

Oh wow! I didn't even noticed I wrote "background" instead of "color". Thanks for the help!
