It should be noted that browsers come with their own set of default colors for link, vlink and alink. The reason for changing these colors may depend on your background color or background image. They cannot click on what they cannot see. Remember though... you don't want to confuse the visitor, when possible use the default color scheme.
Hope that this helps you...
