icon color link hover

Nevermind I figured it out!
HI
I am using icon boxes on my site and am trying to change the color of the inner icon circle from black to #d6d2c9.
I am using this code but both the text link and icon link still change to black on hover. How can I make it so the text is black and the icon center is #d6d2c9.

/*====link and icon color hover====*/
a:hover {
color: #000000!important;
}
#top .av-icon-char:hover {
    color: #d6d2c9!important;
}

thanks for your help,
Nancy
