Individual hover styles for different <a> tags in navigation bar

Hi all, wondering if anyone knows how to style an <a href> tag individually as seen incorrectly below. This was a try out. On this navigation bar I want a different colour for each menu option.

HTML:
<a href="about_me.html" style="a:hover{color: #540c75}">Bio</a>
 
Solution
Just give each link a different style and class with that. X E.

Pseudo selectors don't work in inline styles.

You could do something like this:

nav li:nth-of-type(1) a:hover{color:red}
nav li:nth-of-type(2) a:hover{color:blue}
etc...

Adjust selector based on your structure.

or what Josiah suggested above and put a unique class on each.
