Totally not getting add hover color.

I really don't understand what's happening when I add the hover state? Please help. What am I doing wrong?

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

You have ] above the last statement instead of a }. Make that change and try it again : )

Hey Kyle,

you actually did it perfectly fine! :) The only problem is that you're closing the rule before with a ] instead of a curly brace (}). 

nav a {
    color: #fff;
  ]

So if you fix that it should work, good luck!

nav a {
    color: #fff;
}

Steven is right. You need to close the nav a declaration with a curly brace before you can declare the nav a:hover.
