Answer 1

This button will appear yellow initially. On hover it will turn orange. When you click it, it will turn red. I used :hover and :focus to adapt the style. (The :active selector is usually used of links (i.e. <a> tags))

button{
  background-color:yellow;
}

button:hover{background-color:orange;}

button:focus{background-color:red;}

a {
  color: orange;
}

a.button{
  color:green;
  text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
  color: purple;
}

a:active {
  color: blue;
}

<button>
Hover and Click!
</button>

<a href="#">Hello</a><br><br>
<a class="button" href="#">Bye</a>
