Why are my navigation links not showing up as white?

This is my css code: 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; }

body { background-color: #fff; color: #999; }

This line, I believe:

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

You have a space between a: and visited.
