CSS How to Make a Website Customizing Colors and Fonts Use Color in CSS

Workspace doesn't display the color when the mouse pointer is on top of the color code.

Please advise why the my workspace doesn't display the block of color when I had my mouse over the color code for the preview. This make it hard to identify the color code.

Also, for the last code on this video: nav a, nav a:visited { color: #fff}, why doesn't the code work when there is a space after (nav a: visited), however I notice that didn't effect the other property such as (color, background, etc) with a space after the colon. Is this a bug?

As stated in multiple episodes, the workspace used in the videos is not the same workspace that is used by us.

This can be due to newer versions etc.

You will find other different changes. One I absolutely HATE is the text font etc. It makes it much harder to read. But I believe that my problem is from the cross technology ability. As in, video is on a mac and I am using a Windows PC
