Change Color of each Navigation link on Hover and when active

Hello guys!

Is it possible to change the colour of each navigation link on Hover and Active for Squarespace version 7.1? I am using Mark Novo template! 

Ex:  I want the 'Product' text link to turn blue when hovered and remain blue (bold) when active and I want the Video text link to turn red when hovered and red (bold) when active.  

If none of the navigation links are hovered or clicked, I want them to remain 'grey'.

Help please!

Add to Home > Design > Custom CSS

/* nav hover */
.header-nav-item:hover>a, .header-nav-folder-item:hover a {
  color: red !important;
}
/* av active color */
.header-nav-item--active>a, .header-nav-folder-item--active>a, .header-menu-nav-item--active>a .header-menu-nav-item--active {
    color: green !important;
}

Hello @tuanphan 

Thank you for your help I applied your code into my website and it made a lot of difference. 

I have a follow up question.

Here is the link for my website:

At the moment, I have four navigation links: About, Projects, Films and Shop.

If I hover on 'About' I wonder if it is possible for the text to appear 'Red' and remain red when I visit About (active).

If I hover on 'Projects', I want the text to appear 'Yellow' and remain Yellow when I visit About Projects(active).

If I hover on 'Films', I want the text to appear 'Blue' and remain Blue when I visit Projects(active).

If I hover on 'Shop', I want the text to appear 'Orange' and remain Orange when I visit Shop(active).

Please do excuse my demands and thank you in advance for helping me out. 

HEY IT WORKED FOR ME!

Thank you so much for your support : )

This worked so well! Thank you thank you thank you!

Hi!

I tried both of the codes that you posted here and this one is exactly what i'm looking for but I would like to have different colors on each navigation link and the same color for the folder links.

I have three navigation links that are all folders:
Inrikting
Om Stiftelsen Vi
Kontakt

So, I would like to get each nav link different coloured and their folder titles to be the same.

Thank you in advance!
