Maybe the skin your using requires you to change it in the CSS Stylesheet.

In your CSS look for something like this, and change the color of the ones that say hover
Code:
/* Links-----------------------------------------------------*/
a:link{
    color: #dc143c;
    text-decoration: none;
    }
a:visited{
    color: #dc143c;
    text-decoration: none;
    }
a:active{
    color: #dc143c;
    text-decoration: underline;
    }
a:hover{
    color: #e4e4e4;
    text-decoration: none;
    }
a.forumtitle {
   color: #dc143c;
   font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
   font-size: 1.2em;
   font-weight: bold;
   text-decoration: none;
   }
a.forumtitle:hover {
   color: #ffffff;
   text-decoration: underline;
   }
a.forumtitle:active {
    color: #dc143c;
    }
a.topictitle {
   font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
   font-size: 1.1em;
   font-weight: bold;
   color: #dc143c;
   text-decoration: none;
   }
div.topic-title-container {
   display: inline;
   }
.topic-title {
   display: inline;
   font-size: 12px;
   text-align: left;
   }
.topic-title-post {
   }
a.topictitle:hover {
   color: #ffffff;

Carryn, thank you SO much!! You nailed it! For others, I want to post exactly what I did. The last line of the code, I changed color: #000000 to color: #FC9300. That's it!

Code:
/* Fieldset dl---------------------------------------------------------*/
fieldset dl {
padding: 4px 0;
}
fieldset dt {
float: left;
width: 40%;
text-align: left;
display: block;
}
fieldset dd {
margin-left: 41%;
vertical-align: top;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}
fieldset dl:hover dt label {
color: #FC9300;
