It shouldn't just be colour contrast but also brightness contrast. Using HSB instead of RGB mode is useful for this. I recently put together a 12 hue x 4 brightness levels (48 colours in total) scheme for a site that heavily relies on colour/contrast as an aid for identifying screens and screen components - but using the HSB approach helped keep consistency of contrast where required and meant I didn't need to come up with 48 individual colours. I digress. But if you find that underlines on links make reading the text difficult then you can use bottom borders on the links instead of applying underline text decoration. That way you can change the colour of the underline so it doesn't have to neccessarily match the link colour. Use wisely.
