CSS Link Color Issue

I am working on developing a site, but I am currently running into the issue with Links on the site. I have the color for link, visited,, hover and active figured out...but when you click on a link and visit the corresponding page, that specific link becomes a dark color that is hard to read.

Here is a snippet of code that I figure it should be apart of:

CODE
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}
a:link {
  color: #c2c2c2;
}
a:visited {
  color: #c2c2c2;
}
a:hover {
  color: #c2c2c2;
}
a:active {
  color: #c2c2c2;


What I am trying to accomplish is figure out how to change the color of the link when you are the link's corresponding site.

Do you have a link to the site so we can see what you are talking about?

Also, you could do all that your current code (for the CSS) in this:

CODE

a{
  color #c2c2c2;
  text-decoration: none;
}


Realize that c2c2c2 is a light gray in color, so it shouldn't even be too dark.

Unfortunately I cannot link to the site itself (legal issues). However, the c2c2c2 is not the color I am having issue with. The color that the link changes to is more of a black, and going through the entire code, i can't find the color anywhere

Hm, not sure. It is probably because of some error you have in the CSS then that is making it die after a certain point before setting everything. When CSS parsing is ceased all CSS unparsed is left at befault (for text and link colors it is typically black or a purpel/blue. So that may be the issue. Can you post your whole CSS?

Without being able to see the actual site, the ability to correct your issue will be much more difficult.

While I understand your reasons for not being able to post it, your css is accurate & correct. So therefor the problem must exist somewhere else. As previously pointed out, the color you are using isn't even dark.
