Thanks. That works to change the colors and I used it.
I guess, what I am looking for is a color picker (color from object under cursor) or something that says this object/character is "color-name" or" color-number".
That way if I see something I like anywhere, I can find out what it is and use it somewhere else - not necessarily in the same type of object/character string,

If you set a particular font color in a style, that color will be used for the font for every part of your document which uses that style. It is possible that you need to go a little deeper into how to use styles. It is a very interesting subject, and it has so many applications in creating and/or changing documents. How styles are applied varies according to what type of style it is: page, paragraph, character, etc.OOo 1.1.4 Writer Linux
How do I tell what color some text is? I need to know so I can use the same color somewhere else.
When I set the color in a style (e.g. Internet Link), How do I get all Internet links to be that color. Do I have to highlight each one? I don't think so, but I haven't hit on the magic to do it.

Your specific question refers to a character style (Internet Link). Use F11 to open the Stylus. Find the Character Style icon (the capital A) and click it. Below it will appear a list of character styles. Find "Internet Link" in that list. Right click on it, and select Modify. Make any changes you desire in the window that opens. If you are concerned with the font color, look in the "Font Effects" Tab for Font Color. Make sure to click OK when you have made all of your changes.
To apply any character style including 'Intrernet Link", make sure the Stylus is open (F11). Highlight the part you want to apply the style to (the internet link), and double click on the style you want to use (Internet Link).
