1) The <h3> is not a link, but presumably contains a link.
It is only black on :hover - as specified.

h3 {
font-size: 36px;
color: red !important;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
}
h3 a:link {
color: red !important;
}
h3 a:visited {
color: red !important;
}
h3 a:hover {
color: black !important;
}
h3 a:hover {
color: black;
}
If you want to keep it red, just change the color value to be red.
h3 a:hover {
color: red;
}
Easiest to find it is to use e.g. the web developer toolbar in Firefox, and use the CSS/View style information to click on such an element and see what CSS it gets from where.
