I find excessive colours distracting and confess that I am guilty of displaying visited and unvisited links the same, and only changing on focus/hover. With the colour blindness issue taken into consideration as well, would it not be better, therefore, to style visited links in a manner where colour is not involved at all? Not being a CSS guru, I would need to check what options are available, but something like a line over and under the word for visited links may be a possibility.
