<body text="#00FFFF" bgcolor="#000000">
The parameter keyword for defining the color of links is "link" so the following line defines the color of Yellow as the color of links:
<body text="#00FFFF" bgcolor="#000000" link="#FFFF00">
The parameter keyword for defining the color of visited links is "vlink" so the following line defines the color of red as the color of visited links
<body text="#00FFFF" bgcolor="#000000" link="#FFFF00" vlink="#FF0000">
