Hey Tomasz,

there are multiple ways to achieve this. In later courses you'll learn more about advanced selectors like selectors which help you to select an element with a certain value at an attribute (like the href attribute for example) or pseudo classes.

However in this stage I recommend giving the anchor element "Portfolio" is nested in a class (like portfolio for example) and then select this class and give it a value.

This would be an example:

Give the element the class portfolio:

<a href="index.html" class="portfolio">Portfolio</a>

Write this in your CSS (in this case give it the color green):

.portfolio {
  color: green;
}

Another way would be to write the style inline, which means writing the property and value into the style attribute of the element like so:

<a href="index.html" style="color: green;">Portfolio</a>

I hope that answers your question! :)
