If you use style sheets (CSS), you can set colors that are distinct for visited, unvisited, and about-to-be-visited links. See <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1/#anchor-pseudo-classes>. However, your browser preferences must also allow Web pages to override your default colors. If you set the color for foreground (e.g., text, links), good design principles indicate you must also set the color for background. Furthermore, you must select colors with sufficient contrast to maintain readability. For example, do not try black text against a dark blue background. Also, remember some individuals are color-blind; do not try bright red text against a bright green background. And finally, do preserve the distinction between plain text and links and between visited and unvisited links. See: <http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/abdesign2.html#color> <http://www.rossde.com/internet/web_design.html>, scrolling down to "Colors" -- David E.
