The best way to get a browser s default styling on something is to not style the element at all in the first place

standard link -  0000FF   blue visited link -  800080   purple active link -  FF0000   red   that was a standard but heavily differs per browser now   since Nielsen gave it up

In CSS you can use the color string currentColor inside a link to eg make the border the same color as your default link color    example       border  1px solid currentColor

For me  on Chrome  updated June 2018  the color for an unvisited link is  2779F6   You can always get this by zooming in really close  taking a screenshot  and visiting a website like html-color-codes info that will convert a screenshot to a color code

Entirely depends on the website you are visiting  and in absence of an overwrite on the website  on the browser  There is no standard for that

As of HTML5  the foreground colors of hyperlinks  among other things  are on track for standardization in the form of guidelines for expected default rendering behavior  In particular  taken from the section Phrasing content  the recommended default colors for unvisited and visited hyperlinks are the following    link   color   0000EE     visited   color   551A8B      Notice that there is no recommended default for active hyperlinks   link active   visited active   however   You can use these default colors and reasonably expect them to work  But keep in mind that a browser is free to ignore any or all of these guidelines  as it is never required to follow them  It is  however  recommended for a consistent user experience across browsers  which is how  expected  is defined in this context   so chances are that these colors will correspond to the defaults for most browsers  At worst  they still serve as reasonable approximations of the actual values   In particular  the default unvisited and visited link colors in the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome are consistent with the above guidelines  but recent versions of IE report different values  unvisited links are rgb 0  102  204   or  0066CC  and visited links are rgb 128  0  128   or  800080  Older versions of Firefox  and possibly Safari Chrome  had different defaults as well  Those are older versions  however  the main outlier today that I am aware of is IE  No word yet on whether this will change in Project Spartan     currently it still reflects the same values as the latest version of IE   If you are looking for a standardized color scheme that is used by all browsers rather than suggested by HTML5  then there isn t one  Neither is there a way to revert to a browser s default value for a particular property on a particular element using pure CSS  You will have to either use the colors suggested by HTML5  or devise your own color scheme and use that instead  Either of these options will take precedence over a browser s defaults  regardless of browser   If in doubt  you can always use the about blank technique I described before to sniff out the default colors  as it remains applicable today  You can use this to sniff the active link color in all browsers  for example  in the latest version of Firefox  29 as of this update   it s rgb 238  0  0   or  EE0000
