Regardless ...I still don't think it's worth trying to affect text color via css in an epub. Too many ways it can backfire. Let the reading system handle text colors (including link text), I say.
Diap:

You could well be right. (That it's the inbounds). I assume that they're blue because the targets in turn contain the outbound "back" links (essentially).

Yes, it's an RMSDK thing, and like you, I'm pulling that from memory, so surely, someone with a crisper brain will be along shortly to say that I'm wrong.

I mean, I get it. I wouldn't want a thousand weirdly blue words throughout. If they ARE solely (so to speak) the targets, great.

But wait...let's say that the index entry is to "Churchill, Winston." and you tap your index item, and it takes you to this page will all kinds of cool Churchill stuff. Right?

How do you know WHERE to tap to go back???

(Yes, it's a two-emoty post!)
