for accessibility purposes in using color (on links and visited links,
etc.) i would recommend using the color contrast analyzer from
http://www.accessibleinfo.org.au/ <http://www.accessibleinfo.org.au/>
since web sites need to be accessible to everyone, don't forget the
color blind, so make sure your colors work for them not just those with
normal color vision.
I find excessive colours distracting and confess that I am guilty of
displaying visited and unvisited links the same, and only changing on
focus/hover.
With the colour blindness issue taken into consideration as well, would
it not be better, therefore, to style visited links in a manner where
colour is not involved at all?
Not being a CSS guru, I would need to check what options are available,
but something like a line over and under the word for visited links may
be a possibility.
Cheers
