Use a CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) to control the color of your links.  Here
is an example...

<style type='text/css'>
<!--
@charset "iso-8859-1";
A {text-decoration: none; }
A:link {text-decoration: none }
A:visited {text-decoration: none }
A:active {text-decoration: none }
A:hover {text-decoration: underline; }
-->
</style>

Using the above will do several interesting things:

1.  Since no colors are specified, all links will always be blue (unless
overridden by an inline style reference).  I could just as easily specify
the color (or even a background image) for the links like so...
A {text-decoration: none; color: red; }

Now all my links will be Red, BUT ... (see number 2 )....

2.  Because of the "text-decoration: none" attribute, the links will not be
underlined on the page except... (see number 3)...

3.  Because of the last line the links will display an underline when the
mouse is positioned over them.  This is a nifty way to do something
'scripty' without writing a lot of messy script.  This same thing can be
done for image swapout, table cel backgrounds, etc.

If you aren't familiar with CSS, I suggest you check out
