How does this color scheme look for links?

I actually think that it looks more like a link now. I don't think it looks bad, either.

Also, how would #1a0dab look? Its Google's link color? Or #3366cc, its Wikipedia's link color. Or #2479e9, which is Inspect Element's blue? Or #1b78d0, another link color? Also, how about #0000cd, which is called “medium blue”? Or #4b61d1, which is known as “Savoy blue”? There's also #5865f2, which is known as “blurple”? (Probably not blurple, because Discord uses it.)

I had to step away from this post for hours because I took off my glasses to see how bad it was (which in turn was a bad idea).

The only one that works for me is #1a0dab, but just barely (the rest being proposed are much too light and #0000cd is too saturated).

An easier color on my eyes would be #2c106a if I had a choice in the matter since it's a darker shade of purple-leaning indigo.

The quote is probably “diverts,” not “diverse” — as in, the green diverts attention away from the links in question — but it's taken out of context here anyway. That was probably said on a thread asking to make links to stickies a separate color from links to all other forum posts — so the reasoning isn't relevant here — and the proposed green in question was a very neon green, which wouldn't be suitable for the high-contrast requirements here anyway.

Fair enough. I knew I worded it the wrong way. Still, any green isn’t very good for the eyes or the people who are visually impaired or colorblind.

How do you know

I took a colorblind test. Not everyone can see green, so it’s not the best option of color.

Well, I guess 1a0dab is an option then. How is the medians color without your glasses?

Also bad (due to super-saturation).

I'll try to make it less saturated.

If would also need to be significantly dark in my case. Nothing that trends towards making the color lighter (ie no using blues that are commonly seen in graph paper).

So something not too saturated, too light, or too dark?
