for fellow googlers  copied from duplicate question  This answer is outdated since text-decoration-color is now supported by most modern browsers    You can do this via the following CSS rule as an example   text-decoration-color green    If this rule isn t supported by an older browser  you can use the following solution   Setting your word with a border-bottom   a link     color  red    text-decoration  none    border-bottom  1px solid blue    a hover    border-bottom-color  green
