This feels like a style sheet issue - you have something like
a.class1 = #F00
a.class2 = #0F0
and then
<a href="file1.html" class="class1">This class of link</a>
<a href="file2.html" class="class2">That other class of link</a>
Is this what you want? Style sheet designers should note the need for
different colors for visited and not-yet-visited links of course.
