Modifying the entry title

Hello,

I am trying to change the entry titles (post titles that act as urls) on the landing page (only).

I managed to change the hover color using:

.entry-title a:hover {
color:#7a95bb;
}

But I am unable to do so for the “unhoverd” title.

What I have tried:

.entry-title a {
color:#77aa9a;
}

And trying to manipulate the h2. (Though it didn’t work. It was something of a workaround, but I obviously would prefer if I don’t have to set the h2 just for this).

.entry-title h2 {
color:#77aa9a;
}

And: changing the Headings Font Color in Theme Options. But this unfortunately also affects the headings of single posts.

Thank you.
