By which I guess you mean #3EA2BC. A URL would be useful.

By which I guess you mean links, or elements, rather than tags.

I get itchy when I see a class name suggesting its presumed formatting
rather than the semantic importance of the classed items. Here, I wonder
which link elements you want to be non-#3EA2BC, and *why*. Are they auto
models? Member names? Monitor brands? Planets? Species of primates? Name
the class "planet" and then you can style (and re-style) as your heart
desires. With bodybold you have to watch out constantly that you don't
change from using font-weight: bold anymore.

Re: Anchor colors

I am not sure I understand your explanation on the differences between:

..bodybold a:link

and

a.bodybold:link

and the reason the first one works for my links in my lists but not for the
links by themselves.

I am looking at your suggestions for information on it now.

Thanks,

Tom

Re: Anchor colors

I tried some of the suggestions from here and the articles mentioned and
still am confused. I tried applying this to a datagrid in asp.net which
renders to something like (with the CSS):
