Are hyperlinks hard to see?

[ekiefl]

Color is a subjective thing, especially with the prominence of color blindness in our population. What pops to some may be invisible to others.

So I wanted to ask, does anyone else feel these hyperlinks are difficult to see? On a 1-10 scale of visibility, I would rank these as a 2:

Especially given the visual prominence of our new artifact hyperlinks (green), I fear from my own experience that our hyperlinks are being looked over by readers.

I agree. What would be your suggestion?

I think underlines are clear and impossible to miss, but the look is admittedly pretty retro. Here's an example:

On the page I'm on now, I see a blue text hyperlink that looks clear to me. I don't know why though. Maybe because it is lighter than on our website?

What do you think?

Yes, I think GitHub link is very nice and it is because it is lighter than ours.

GitHub: #0969da; Ours: #444499. Much darker. I think we could change it with GitHub link color and no one would be upset :)

Ok i'll change it right now
