 * Hi
 * I don’t understand the inconsistencies on link colours across my site. Why are
   the link and hover colour on this page different in the paragraphs under ‘About
   our visitor material’ – [https://www.stcyriacs.org.uk/guides/](https://www.stcyriacs.org.uk/guides/)
   In custom CSS, I added code like this to make the darker colour, but it obviously
   hasn’t applied it everywhere:
    a:link { color: #c68f04 !important; }
 * Also why can’t you change link colour separately from button colour? On my homepage(
   [https://www.stcyriacs.org.uk](https://www.stcyriacs.org.uk)), the button colour
   follows the typography setting, and the text follows my additional CSS, because
   I couldn’t see any way to separate them.
 * What is the relationship between link colour, button colour, and both of those
   things after clicking on them? Also on the menu at the top. When you change the
   text colour in a block element, which takes priority?
 * Any clarity on all of this would be much appreciated!
 * Thanks,
    Sheona

 * Hi [@sheona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sheona/)!
 * Thanks for choosing Neve!
 * I’m not sure I can see the issue with the link color on the Guides page. The 
   links under “About our visitor material” already have the color you added with
   that CSS code. If you want to change the link color on hover, it’s possible to
   use the code below, changing the color as you please.
 *     ```
       a:hover {
           color: blue !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Both the button and link color follow the Primary Accent from Customizer -> Colors&
   Background. The button and link color on hover follow the Secondary Accent. You
   can find a detailed guide about global colors in Neve [here](https://docs.themeisle.com/article/1314-global-colors-in-neve).
 * It is also possible to change the button background and text color from the editor,
   as you can see [here](https://monosnap.com/file/3iFUfoI0sZmSGmKWcJjJ6boMJ9gYE0).
 * Have a nice day!
