Changing the colour of links in your campaign

Most email clients and web based email providers will display the links in your email campaign in the standard blue colour regardless of what colour you select in the WYSIWYG editor.  There are a couple of tricks to get around this for most email clients.

Firstly, you will need to switch the WYSIWYG editor into source view.   This can be done be hitting the 'Source' button.

Next you should add the following HTML code into the source just before you see the </head> tag:

<style type="text/css">
a { color: red; }
</style>

You can change the colour to suit and can also use normal HTML hex values for colour (ie; #c1c1c1).

This will turn all of the links in your email to be the colour you have selected for the majority of email clients and webmail providers but there are two exceptions, Gmail and Mail.com

For Gmail and Mail.com you will need to highlight each link in your email campaign and set the colour using the text colour selector within the WYSIWYG editor.   This solution is not 100% perfect as the line underneath the link within these two webmail providers will often stay in the default blue colour.
