Hi,

You use pseudo-class hover.

Example

<!-- html -->
<button class="buttons">button</button>

// css
button:hover {
  background-color: orange;
}

Just add a hover psuedo-class.

For example:

HTML

<button class="mybutton"> My Button </button>

CSS

.mybutton {
  background: tomato
}

.mybutton:hover {
   background: teal; 
}
