Text color change on hover over button

I am trying to change the color of the text inside the button on hover.

I can make the button itself change color, but I want the button text to change color too.

Here is my current css:

button,
input.button,
a.button,
input[type="submit"] {
background:#2e77ae;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae);
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae);
background: linear-gradient(top, #5590bd, #2e77ae);
border-color:#2e77ae;}

button:hover,
input.button:hover,
a.button:hover,
input[type="submit"]:hover{

    background:#E6D332;
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332);
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332);
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332);
    background: linear-gradient(top, #E6D332, #E6D332);
    border-color:#2e77ae;}



button:focus,
input.button:focus,
a.button:focus,
input[type="submit"]:focus { 
    background-color:#E6D332;}

.btn:hover h3{
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

You can write the selectors for elements (such as text) within the <button> after .btn:hover to update those specific elements css properties when hovering on the button.

p.one{
    color: DarkBlue}
p.one:hover{
    color: yellow}
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Css Help</title>
    <head>
    <body>
        <p class="one">Example TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample TextExample Text<p>
    </body>
<html>

Here is what I do:

a:hover{
    color: #ffffff;
}

You can change the 'a' to whatever such as a paragraph 'p' or specify it the html file with a class

<p class="one">Example</p>

Them in CSS file do:

p.one:hover{
    color: #ffffff;
}

I hope I could Help.

The CSS property color controls the text color in elements generically. In your case, to change the color on hover, use the :hover specifier;

input[type = "submit"]:hover {
    color: #FF0000;
    //you can add more styles to be applied on hover
}

Note that you can as well specify the color using the rgb(x, y, z) format. Here's a little demo to illustrate: little link. You can play around with the demo and view the source here: another little link.

I hope that helped!

If you want to change the color of the text, use the CSS color property, like

input[type="submit"]:hover{
   color :#E6D332; 
}
