Make my accordion title different colour on hover

I have this accordion, it is a bit like Frankensteins monster, I have copied and pasted it form everyone and put it together.

If you click on a section you will see that there are colour squeres. I would like the Accordion title to be background:green; when I float over it and for the next title background:pink; and so on.

Can you help?

if this is static content I would simply add a class to each title label within the accordian with a hover value e.g.

    <label for="ac-1" class="title1 hover-tag">COACHING & MENTORING STUDY</label>

    <label for="ac-2" class="title hover-tag-2">RESEARCH & RESEARCH EVENTS</label>

    .hover-tag:hover {
      background-color: #9eab05;;
    }

    .hover-tag-2:hover {
        background-color: #d10373;
    }

This is how you target the open accordion's label:

.accordion input:checked + label,
.accordion input:checked + label:hover {
    background:green;
}

To target the specific ones so you can give each accordion its own color:

.accordion #ac-1:checked + label,
.accordion #ac-1:checked + label:hover {
    background:green;
}
.accordion #ac-2:checked + label,
.accordion #ac-2:checked + label:hover {
    background:pink;
}

By the way, this is a cool way to do accordions without needing js.

Thank you for your help, it doesn't quite do what I want, the float over in the clsoed state still doesn't change colour when I hover.

Do please let me know if it is me!
