The new theme doesn't have a color for visited links. I don't see it in the figma.

Is a classic purple color sufficient? If yes, I'd go with this one: #7a00df

Agree with @jasmussen

That'll work, thanks!

Adding this style to the parent does have wide ranging effects which will take some effort to override in undesirable places. See the screenshots on the PR. I think we should consider whether this is what we want across the network. An alternative could be only applying it only on the Forums where there has been a user request.

I responded on the PR, that IMO the visited style should not be applied to navigation links (footer/header), CTAs (anything on the homepage) and other "evergreen" links (hero sections, callouts, headings).

Is it possible to scope it only to sections that feature blue links on white text as a starting point? IMO that could mean applying it in blanket style across the entire Learn category as a starting point (Learn, Forums, Developer Resources, Documentation), and then expand from there as we learn how to best apply it?

Agree with @jasmussen. The plan proposed also sounds good to me if doable.
