Visited link colour is very similar to the normal text colour #16

In the above example the word "performance benchmark" is a link but since it's a visited one, it's very hard to recognise that.

Would it be possible to make the colour of visited links more obvious?

Hi, currently the color of a:visited is defined as darken($brand-color, 10%);. We can increase that 10% to 15% or something. If it's still hard to recognize, then we should think another way, for example, combining desaturate.

Also you can change $brand-color in _sass/whiteglass.scss, so you can check with multiple colors.

Can I play with this by copying _sass/whiteglass.scss into my own jekyll installation?

yous commented 6 years ago

_sass/whiteglass.scss defines fallback, you can copy assets/main.scss to your jekyll site and edit it as you want. See https://github.com/yous/whiteglass/blob/master/README.md#customization.
