Changing the color and font of the .navbar-nav menu

I am having trouble with the CSS coding of changing the color and font on my .navbar-nav menu.

I’ve tried all sorts of variations but this code does not seem to transfer over…It changes when I am inspecting an element in Chromes’s coding interface. However, when I copy and paste it over into the CSS coding page it doesn’t transfer over.

Code I’m trying is below:

.navbar-default
.navbar-nav > li > a {
color: #FADC0A;
font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif;
}

Any thoughts?
