[IxDA Discuss] does color matter for hyperlinks

[Josh Viney]

Color matters, but shouldn't be a primary differentiator between text and
links.

It is reasonable to say that because the vast majority of sites no longer
use default blue - purple for links most users won't have much of a problem
accessing links as long as there is sufficient contrast.

There should also be consideration for the colorblind who may only be able
to differentiate between shades.
