Help with hover color changes?

I'm using a 7.1 template—Hawley. Someone else actually had the same question that was answered but I found a new problem. I want the "works" menu on the page (not the nav) to be black and then white on hover. I'm using this code and it works BUT the words are actually white when you first get to the page and then change to black after you hover over them for the first time, after which they stay black and then change white on hover.
