Change color of postmeta tag links and other php links

    I have a number of links that are called by php and I am wondering if it is possible to change their color. For example, in my single.php I have

    <p class="postmetadata"><?php _e('Posted by','Mimbo'); ?> <?php the_author_posts_link('namefl'); ?> <?php _e('on','Mimbo'); ?> <?php the_time('j F y'); ?> &bull; <?php _e('Categorized as','Mimbo'); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?>
<br /><?php the_tags('Tagged as ',', ');?></p>

    all of which produce links on my site that are the same color as the in-post links. I would like them to be a different color though.

    I’ve tried the following in my stylesheet:

    p.postmetadata a:
{
color:blue;
}

    I have also tried using for example:
    <?php the_time('<span color:#b464e5'>j F y</span>'); ?>

    which did nothing.

    Any help would be most appreciated.I seem to be able to change any aspect of my blog except these links!

    <?php the_time('<span color:#b464e5'>j F y</span>'); ?>
    is all sorts of jumbled up! one apostrophe inside the declaratio, etc…

    <span style="color:#b464e5"><?php the_time('j F y'); ?></span>

    Thanks for cleaning that up for me. I really don’t know php, just trying to reason it out.

    I still can’t get links to change color.
    When I try:
    <span style="color:#b464e5"><?php the_category(',') ?></span>
    it has no effect. I.e. the color of the link is the same as when I have
    <?php the_category(',') ?>

    For these particular tags, I put in my css

    #content .postmetadata a:link
{
color:#b464e5;
}

    That worked fine.
