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;
}
I am used to Chrome's color
so the blue color in Chrome for link is #007bff
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.
The best way to get a browser's default styling on something is to not style the element at all in the first place.
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.
According to the official default HTML stylesheet, there is no defined default link color. However, you can find out the default your browser uses by either taking a screenshot and using the pipette tool in any decent graphic editor or using the developer tools of your browser (select an a
element, look for computed values>color
).
that was a standard but heavily differs per browser now. (since Nielsen gave it up ;)
Default html color code like this:
Red #FF0000 rgb(255, 0, 0)
Maroon #800000 rgb(128, 0, 0)
Yellow #FFFF00 rgb(255, 255, 0)
Olive #808000 rgb(128, 128, 0)
Blue #0000FF rgb(0, 0, 255)
Navy #000080 rgb(0, 0, 128)
Fuchsia #FF00FF rgb(255, 0, 255)
Purple #800080 rgb(128, 0, 128)
The default colours in Gecko, assuming the user hasn't changed their preferences, are:
#0000EE
(blue)#551A8B
(purple)#EE0000
(red)Gecko also provides names for the user's colours; they are -moz-hyperlinktext
-moz-visitedhyperlinktext
and -moz-activehyperlinktext
and they also provide -moz-nativehyperlinktext
which is the system link colour.
