Link colors

You can use the .link-* classes to colorize links. Unlike the .text-* classes, these classes have a :hover and :focus state. Some of the link styles use a relatively light foreground color, and should only be used on a dark background in order to have sufficient contrast.

Heads up! .link-body-emphasis is currently the only colored link that adapts to color modes. It’s treated as a special case until v6 arrives and we can more thoroughly rebuild our theme colors for color modes. Until then, it’s a unique, high-contrast link color with custom :hover and :focus styles. However, it still responds to the new link utilities.
