The accepted answer:

  }
  a:hover {
    color: blue;
  }
</style>

Since the non-pseduo a selector sort of suggests using hex, I figured I’d be fancy and use #00F for the a:hover pseudo selector. However, it is not recognized as correct. Not a big deal, but should probably be fixed since prior lessons explicitly spend time teaching hex and rgb.

Correct, but not accepted:

<style>
  a {
    color: #000;
  }
  a:hover {
    color: #00F;
  }
</style>
