How to Change Link Color on Any Website

Learn how to change the color of links on any website using Helperbird. Make links stand out more or choose colors that are easier for you to see.

·

The link color feature lets you change the color of all clickable links on a website. Links are the text you click to go to other pages.

By default, links are often blue, but some websites use colors that are hard to see or do not stand out enough. With Helperbird, you can choose any color that makes links easier to find and read.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • People who have trouble seeing blue or other default link colors
  • Anyone with color blindness who needs links to stand out more
  • People who find it hard to distinguish links from regular text
  • Anyone who wants links to match their custom color scheme
  • People who read pages with poor link visibility

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.


Step 3: Find Text Settings

Look through the list of features until you see Text settings.

It has a yellow icon with the letter "T" on it.


Step 4: Open Text Settings

Click on Text settings to open it.

A panel will appear with three tabs at the top: Text, Colors, and Border.


Step 5: Go to the Colors Tab

Click on the Colors tab to see all the color options.

This is where you will find the link color option along with other color settings.


In the Colors tab, look for Link.

Click the toggle switch next to it to turn it on. The toggle will turn green when it is enabled.


Step 7: Choose Your Color

Once Link is turned on, a color palette will appear below the toggle.

Click on any color to select it. All links on the website will change to your chosen color immediately.

If you do not see a color you like, you can click the color picker icon to choose any custom color.

Tip: Choose a color that contrasts well with both the background and regular text. Bright or bold colors like orange, green, or purple often work well for making links stand out.

Have an amazing collection of assistive tools that have benefits for everyone. For me, the combination of Microsoft's Immersive Reader and Apple's reading machine voice (US Alex) makes Helperbird my first choice for processing web content.

I really liked the ease of setting up and also accessing the tool while you are on chrome. I had no trouble, and within a week found myself using it without even noticing.

A truly great extension! We installed this on all of our 200 Chromebooks across the 3 special schools i work in and it has greatly helped our students use technology to learn. It not only helps our dyslexic learners, but also our autistic and ADHD students by helping remove distractions and making the web a more accessible place. Support is fast and efficient, and updates are very regular with new features constantly being added!
