FIX: New Email Builder Link Text Color Default
under review

In the old email builder when you added a hyperlink to text, it used to automatically change the linked text color to the default blue.
The new email builder seems to override and force the text color to black or whatever the default text color was in the element, meaning you have to go around and manually change the color for all your text links. Not really standard WYSIWYG behavior.

Merged in a post:
Make unvisited text hyperlinks blue by default in the email builder (accessibility)

Right now, hyperlinks are black by default, and they just look like regular underlined text which is not accessibility-friendly.
Please follow the default hyperlink colour norms for hyperlinks in emails by default, which W3 Schools lists as:
"By default, a link will appear like this (in all browsers):
An unvisited link is underlined and blue
A visited link is underlined and purple
An active link is underlined and red"
If users then want to change the colour, then leave the option to do so then, but the default should be internet-standards and norms.

Yeah the builder is ignoring my branded colours for links.

I've been manually updating the color of the hyperlinked text, and in the past few months, that workaround has worked. But this week, I've noticed that even though I'm manually changing the color, and in the editor, it's the color I chose, when I receive the email, it shows black instead of the color I manually updated the text to.

I'm also seeing this issue where I can't get my hyperlink colors to change. They're all being forced to black. I would like the ability to define hyperlink colors in the appearance settings for the campaign/template.
