Is it possible to change the selectedTab text color in SPRY Tabs?

Question

Was working with SPRY tabs and the client would like the font color to change to white on roll over and select.
Is this possible through simply adding a single line of code to the css file of the SPRY file under
.TabbedPanelsTabSelected {
    height: 46px;
    width: 168px;
    background-color: #a7b9c3;
    color: #f7f7f7;
as you can see I already attempted to change the color and wasn't able to achieve the results on

If it is possible, awesome, if not, I will replace with rollover images to get the desired result.

Answer 1

I've gone through the coding now for a couple of days and still cannot get the font color to change on select.
I tried to inserted the recommended
<style>
.TabbedPanelsTabSelected,
.TabbedPanelsTabHover {
     color: #FFF;
</style>
coding that was offered earlier, and it did nothing....
here is the CSS for my tabbed panels... PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE WRONG, OR FORGOT!!!!

/* Horizontal Tabbed Panels
* The default style for a TabbedPanels widget places all tab buttons
* (left aligned) above the content panel.
/* This is the selector for the main TabbedPanels container. For our
* default style, this container does not contribute anything visually,
* but it is floated left to make sure that any floating or clearing done
* with any of its child elements are contained completely within the
* TabbedPanels container, to minimize any impact or undesireable
* interaction with other floated elements on the page that may be used
* for layout.
* If you want to constrain the width of the TabbedPanels widget, set a
* width on the TabbedPanels container. By default, the TabbedPanels widget
* expands horizontally to fill up available space.
* The name of the class ("TabbedPanels") used in this selector is not
* necessary to make the widget function. You can use any class name you
* want to style the TabbedPanels container.
