Sidebar & Footer Menu Header Colors

Great theme.

We have a sidebar with widgets, and 4 footer menu’s deployed to the footer as a widget each.

The challenge we have is that we are overriding the widget title color
h5.widget-title {
color: #2980b9;
}

This is great on the sidebar which has a white background.

This doesn’t work on the footer which has a similar color background to the widget title.

Is there a better way to do the footer menu items, or perhaps a better way to differentiate between a sidebar widget-title and a footer widget-title ?
