Hi,
I'm also suggesting reordering the hierarchy (Taxonomy) of the
navigation.

Hi,
if the different links are in clearly defined different areas there
should
be little confusion, even with using the same colors reversed. If
you mix
them in the same menu, then there's obviously a problem of
consistency of
the meaning.
However, what you should NOT do, from a usability point of view, is
have
an external link in the middle of the site navigation menu, i.e.
<a href="http://www.homelesschildrenamerica.org/"; title="National
Response" id="dhtml_menu-262">CAMPAIGN TO END CHILD HOMELESSNESS</a>
The link color scheme seems OK from a color-blindness accessibility
angle,
see:

I've a client wishing to call attention to (2) a: links, in a

After reviewing the change I found it conflicting with the
surrounding a:links, so did some of my flat-mates used for
usability testing.
Would someone suggest a method that doesn't cause disharmony, or is
it just nit-picking on our part?
Use different colours.
(And post a URL so we can see whether there really is a problem.)
