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.

Helperbird is an excellent extension supporting a range of learning differences. Aside from providing many evidence-based dyslexia-assistive tools, the extension also functions as an easy-to-use, feature-rich web experience customization tool suitable to support a wide range of cognitive differences (i.e., color blindness and ADHD-related focus concerns, among others). Also, the developer is a very good person who supports the various learning-different communities in many ways, including by designing the free version of Helperbird to provide enough functionality to be beneficial to people who cannot afford to subscribe to the full-function version.

My son has dyslexia and has been struggling with parts of distant learning over the last year. We recently discovered this software and he is loving everything about it, especially with the ease of following directions and completing his assignments! We have used several other tools but this has everything a dyslexia person needs all in one bundle! The upgrade is definitely worth it to make our daily struggles, on the computer, run much smoother. I also greatly appreciate customer support (helpdesk). They went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up on the computer for my son to most successful.

the BEST addon for accessibility on Firefox. I very much love using its Reading Ruler, and sometimes its Reading mode/voice too.
