How do I remove the default link color of the html hyperlink 'a' tag?

The default link color is blue. How do I remove the default link color of the html hyperlink tag <a>?

The inherit value:

a { color: inherit; } 

… will cause the element to take on the colour of its parent (which is what I think you are looking for).

A live demo follows:

a {
  color: inherit;
}

<p>The default color of the html element is black. The default colour of the body and of a paragraph is inherited. This
  <a href="http://example.com">link</a> would normally take on the default link or visited color, but has been styled to inherit the color from the paragraph.</p>

Try something like this:

a {
	color: #0060B6;
	text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
	color:#00A0C6; 
	text-decoration:none; 
	cursor:pointer;  
}

If text-decoration doesn't work, change it to:

text-decoration: none !important;

The !important rule overrides every other styling to the text-decoration attribute. You can read more about it here.

If you don't want to see the underline and default color which is provided by the browser, you can keep the following code in the top of your main.css file. If you need different color and decoration styling you can easily override the defaults using the below code snippet.

 a, a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
      text-decoration: none;
      color: inherit;
 }
 
     

.cancela,.cancela:link,.cancela:visited,.cancela:hover,.cancela:focus,.cancela:active{
	color: inherit;
	text-decoration: none;
}

I felt it necessary to post the above class definition, many of the answers on SO miss some of the states

This is also possible:

a {
  all: unset;
}

> unset: This keyword indicates to change all the properties applying to > the element or the element's parent to their parent value if they are > inheritable or to their initial value if not. unicode-bidi and > direction values are not affected.

You have to use CSS. Here's an example of changing the default link color, when the link is just sitting there, when it's being hovered and when it's an active link.

a:link {
  color: red;
}

a:hover {
  color: blue;
}

a:active {
  color: green;
}

<a href='http://google.com'>Google</a>

Simply add this in CSS,

a {
    color: inherit;
    text-decoration: none;
}

that's it, done.

You can use System Color (18.2) values, introduced with CSS 2.0, but deprecated in CSS 3.

a:link, a:hover, a:active { color: WindowText; }

That way your anchor links will have the same color as normal document text on this system.

a:link{color:inherit;}

this is the simple one line can do all stuffs for you <3

I had this challenge when I was working on a Rails 6 application using Bootstrap 4.

My challenge was that I didn't want this styling to override the default link styling in the application.

So I created a CSS file called custom.css or custom.scss.

And then defined a new CSS rule with the following properties:

.remove_link_colour {
  a, a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
      color: inherit;
      text-decoration: none;
  }
}

Then I called this rule wherever I needed to override the default link styling.

<div class="product-card__buttons">
  <button class="btn btn-success remove_link_colour" type="button"><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_product_path(product) %></button>
  <button class="btn btn-danger remove_link_colour" type="button"><%= link_to 'Destroy', product, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></button>
</div>

This solves the issue of overriding the default link styling and removes the default colour, hover, focus, and active styling in the buttons only in places where I call the CSS rule.

That's all.

I hope this helps

<style>
a {
color:      ;
}
</style>

This code changes the color from the default to what is specified in the style. Using a:hover, you can change the color of the text from the default on hover.

This will work

    a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
        outline: none;
    }

What this does is removes the outline for all the three pseudo-classes.
