default visited link color

[cmis04]

Can anyone tell me the normal color of a visited link? I have a rgb color that's a little bit lighter than the default color.

Thanks

The default visited link colour varies by browser. And users often specify the colour as well. However, the default IE colour, I believe, is #FF000 That being the hex code, also known as red

I believe the default for most browsers is rgb(128,0,128), or #800080 (both IE and FB have that set as the default).

Nah, that's just Firefox. I remeber my IE was red. Never touched the colours. I remember noticing the different colour for Firefox when switching. IE shipped with read default for visited links...

Really? Hmmm, maybe I changed mine. :confused: It’s been so long, I can’t remember. :D

Yeah, I just checked IE (God its so slow). Red. I remember the Error 404 page that it serves you when you hit a wrong page and the 404 message is short. Instead it serves you your own. And the links were always red. (don't ask).

Thanks guys, I'll try your suggestions out.

default for IE is blue (#00ff00), visited is purple, and active is not set.

Thanks, as it turns out though, I'm supposed to make the visited links brown to go with the organizations colors.

That hex colour is for a shade of green. Hex for blue is #0000FF. :p And where are you guys getting purple from? I just checked my IE and IE on another computer, and defualt visited link colour is red. Oddness....


Oh well, it's not important now that the issue is resolved.

Thanks anyway man.

If I remember rightly the visited colour is different depending on which country you are in (or rather which country your version of the OS was meant for).
