You can copy paste run full code below
You can use MouseRegion's onHover attribute

code snippet

void _incrementExit(PointerEvent details) {
    setState(() {
      textColor = Colors.blue;
      _exitCounter++;
    });
  }

void _updateLocation(PointerEvent details) {
    setState(() {
      textColor = Colors.red;
      x = details.position.dx;
      y = details.position.dy;
    });
  }
  
return MouseRegion(
      onEnter: _incrementEnter,
      onHover: _updateLocation,
      onExit: _incrementExit,
      child: FlatButton(
        color: Colors.white,
        textColor: Colors.teal[700], //when hovered text color change
        shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(5),

You can change foregroundColor property of Button Style like this:

ElevatedButton.styleFrom().copyWith(
      backgroundColor: MaterialStateProperty.resolveWith<Color?>(
        (states) {
          if (states.contains(MaterialState.hovered)) {
            return Colors.blue;
          } else if (states.contains(MaterialState.pressed)) {
            return Colors.yellow;
          }
          return Colors.red;
        },
      ),
      foregroundColor: MaterialStateProperty.resolveWith<Color?>(
        (states) {
          if (states.contains(MaterialState.hovered)) {
            return Colors.green;
          }
          return Colors.black;
        },
      ),
    );

For the textButton we can use foregroundColor property of ButtonStyle.

TextButton(
style: ButtonStyle(
foregroundColor: MaterialStateProperty.resolveWith<Color>(
(Set<MaterialState> states) {
if (states.contains(MaterialState.focused))
  return Colors.red;
if (states.contains(MaterialState.hovered))
    return Colors.green;
if (states.contains(MaterialState.pressed))
    return Colors.blue;
return Colors.yellow; // null throus error in flutter 2.2+.
}),
),
onPressed: () { },
child: Text('TextButton with custom overlay colors'),
)
