How to change the color of links in my text?

[KaratekHD]

I am trying to change the link colour using custom css, but I can't get it to work the way I want it to. I only want to change the colour of links inside my articles, not in the sidebar etc.

a:link {
    color: #09bfdd;
}

Does not change the colour in my article, but everywhere else, and

:root {
    --md-primary-fg-color:        #000000;
    --md-primary-fg-color--light: #000000;
    --md-accent-fg-color:                   #09bfdd;
    --md-accent-bg-color--light:            #09bfdd;
    --md-accent-bg-color:                   #09bfdd;
    --md-accent-fg-color:                   #09bfdd;
    --md-accent-fg-color--light:            #09bfdd;
    --md-accent-fg-color--transparent:      #09bfdd;
}

Thanks for your help.

You need to scope your changes accordingly. To only change the link color, you can use the --md-typeset-a-color variable and scope it to the content area:

.md-content {
  --md-typeset-a-color: #09bfdd;
}

For a list of all definitions please see the color variable definitions.
