How to change the color of a link? [duplicate]

You could do something like this:

a{
  color: black;
}

a:hover{
  color: red;
}

a:active{
  color: blue;
}

<a href="index.html">Clic</a>

We use the statement:

a{
  color: black;
}

To indicate the color Black , to the element of type <a>.

We use the statement:

a:hover{
  color: red;
}

To indicate the color Red , to the elements of type <a>, when the mouse hovers over them.

Update

We use the statement:

a:active{
  color: blue;
}

To indicate the Blue color , to the elements of type <a>, when you click on them with the mouse. That is, when clicked.

Update 2

If you want to do everything in a single line (although it is not highly recommended because you could not centralize the design in another file) .

You could do something like this:

<a href='index.html' style='color: black'>Clic</a>

Although this would only work for color in general , but not for events hoveror active.

You just have to remove the :hoverone that indicates that it is a style that must be applied when hovering over the mouse

body{
  background-color: #000;
}

a{
   color: #fff;
}

<a href="">Link color</a>

Change color without mouse hover:

a {
    color: red;
}

<p><b><a href="enlace.jsp" target="_blank">texto en linkk</a></b></p>
