Do hover states need to pass contrast?
You need to maintain 3:1 contrast ratio during all of that elements states (focus, hover, active, etc). The requirement doesn't mean that states need to contrast 3:1 with each other. For instance, an element's hover state does not need to contrast 3:1 with its focus state, or even its resting state.
Do hover colors need to be accessible?
Hover effects don't necessarily make your website less accessible, provided that you follow the requirements in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which are widely considered the standards for digital accessibility.
Do disabled buttons need to conform to colour contrast guidelines?
The question: Do disabled buttons need to conform to colour contrast guidelines? The answer: No disabled buttons do not need to pass color contrast guidelines.
Should hover states be lighter or darker?
A darker color commonly makes a button feel like it can be pressed while a lighter color on hover may create a kind of feel that suggests the button is being activated. Whatever color effects you choose for your button, it really doesn't matter so long as the user can identify it as one (a button).
