blue link special

[Paul Pehrson]

Remember that it is bad design to rely on color alone to indicate
something to the user. If you simply rely on color, you'll lose users
who are colorblind, or users who print on a black and white printer,
etc.

If you are going to indicate a "link" with a color, you need to add
some other visual cue in addition so that all of your users will be
able to see what you are pointing out.
