Question

I tried a few ways to change the link's color, but it didn't work. These what I tried:

None of them works and the link's color is still blue. How can I overwrite the blue color to my own color?

<span style="text-decoration: none; color: #959595">www.xyz.com</span>
<span style="text-decoration: none !important; color: #959595 !important">www.xyz.com</span>
<font style="text-decoration: none; color: #959595">www.xyz.com</font>
