Answer 1

You can do it with CSS Transitions :

a {
    color: lime;
    -webkit-transition: color 1s;
    -moz-transition:    color 1s;
    -ms-transition:     color 1s;
    -o-transition:      color 1s;
    transition:         color 1s;
}

a:hover {
    color: red;
}

Answer 2

Use CSS Transitions.. See this: Fiddle

a {
  color: #000000;
}
a:hover {
   color: #E24B3B;
}
ul a {
 -webkit-transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
 -moz-transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
 -o-transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
 -ms-transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
 transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
 }

As said by @elclanrs or you can also use this.

$("selector").hover(function(){
    // your code to fade in or fade out ....
});

 -o-transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
 -ms-transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
 transition: color 0.2s ease-out;
