Do you mean the <a> links whilst hovering over?

If so, use the following CSS

a:hover { color:blue; }

Replacing blue with the color of your choice :)

Also if the a is nested within a nav you can use nav a:hover or put an id or a class on it :)

Ahh, simple mistake to make,

Best thing to check things like that is firebug in Firefox ( my preference) Or chrome dev tools, makes it easy to see what's going on :) good luck with the rest of it!
