What you need to do here is make your CSS more specific.

You can do this by making a couple of new classes for each of these links.

Something like:

a .darkLink {color:some dark color;}
a .lightLink {color:some light color;}

Then in your HTML code:

<a href="someplace.htm" class="darkLink">dark link</a>
<a href="some_other_place.htm" class="lightLink">light link</a>

This could be made more specific if all your dark links appear in one 
div and vice versa. Then your css could read:

div#lightArea a .darkLink {color:some dark color;}
div#darkArea a .lightLink {color:some light color;}

Hope that helps, Joe
