  Hello!

  If I understand your question, you would like to change the color of the hyperlinked text?

  The only way to customize fonts in WordPress is through custom CSS, which is available only for Business Accounts. As you are using a .wordpress.com domain, I assume you are using a free account. In that case, unfortunately you will only be able to use the standard fonts (hyperlink color) provided with the theme you choose.

  I hope this answers your question!

  Hello,

  i have a premium account. Is there any change to use CSS? If so,
  could you please help me with the CSS code for changing the colors of the hyperlink and for the headline of a blog post? Or is there another solution to change colors with the premium account?

  Thank you in advance,

  Rebekka

  Hi @japaneselifeinbritain,

  Just to add onto @theblakesheep, you can do custom CSS through both Premium and Business Plans. You can view the different plans at https://wordpress.com/pricing/ to see what features each comes with.

  There are some themes that do allow you to select custom colors to varying degrees. Here’s the link to review the various themes with this feature – https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/custom-colors. I’m not familiar with which one’s let you change link colors, but maybe someone else will chime in.

  For individual pages and posts, you could also add some HTML to alter the link colors. You can add style=”color: #cc0000 to any code. Select whatever color you like – I just put in #cc0000 at random.

  Thanks for the update @jameshelps, I always mix up CSS editing with custom theme uploading!
