In this article, we would like to show you how to change text color on hover using CSS.

Quick solution:

div:hover {
    color: red;
}

 

Practical example

In this example, we use CSS :hover pseudo class to create a separate style for div that is hovered. In order to change the text color, we use CSS color property.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    div:hover {
        color: red; 
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div>Hover me to change the color</div>
</body>
</html>

Class selectors

In this example, we present a practical example of how to use the :hover with class selectors. In order to change the text color, we use color CSS property.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>

    .my-element:hover {
        color: green;
    }

  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="my-element">Hover me to change the color</div>
</body>
</html>
