How do I remove the default link color of the html hyperlink 'a' tag?

If you don't want to see the underline and default color which is provided by the browser, you can keep the following code in the top of your main.css file. If you need different color and decoration styling you can easily override the defaults using the below code snippet.

 a, a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
      text-decoration: none;
      color: inherit;
 }

Simply add this in CSS,

a {
    color: inherit;
    text-decoration: none;
}

that's it, done.

I had this challenge when I was working on a Rails 6 application using Bootstrap 4.

My challenge was that I didn't want this styling to override the default link styling in the application.

So I created a CSS file called custom.css or custom.scss.

And then defined a new CSS rule with the following properties:

.remove_link_colour {
  a, a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
      color: inherit;
      text-decoration: none;
  }
}

Then I called this rule wherever I needed to override the default link styling.

<div class="product-card__buttons">
  <button class="btn btn-success remove_link_colour" type="button"><%= link_to 'Edit', edit_product_path(product) %></button>
  <button class="btn btn-danger remove_link_colour" type="button"><%= link_to 'Destroy', product, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></button>
</div>

This solves the issue of overriding the default link styling and removes the default colour, hover, focus, and active styling in the buttons only in places where I call the CSS rule.

That's all.

I hope this helps

a:link{color:inherit;}

this is the simple one line can do all stuffs for you <3

<style>
a {
color:      ;
}
</style>

This code changes the color from the default to what is specified in the style. Using a:hover, you can change the color of the text from the default on hover.

This will work

    a:hover, a:focus, a:active {
        outline: none;
    }

What this does is removes the outline for all the three pseudo-classes.
