Changing the code I was referring to would still make it white. If you change the color: #ba0000; to #fff or get rid of it all together and add your background color, it should work fine.
a,
.entry-title a:hover,
.image-section a:hover,
.image-section .featured-content .entry-title a:hover,
.site-footer a:hover {
color: #fff;
}
If you added the above code it will make the font stay WHITE when being hovered.
