Should visited links be a different color?
Display Content Clearly on the Page
Use blue for unvisited links and purple for visited links unless you have a reason to choose different colors. Test your color choice to make sure it stands out from the body text—and that it's visible to people who are color blind.
Why do clicked links turn purple?
When you click a link from Google search, the link itself turns purple to let you know you've already visited this page.
Why are some links purple and some blue?
An unvisited is underlined and blue, a visited link is underlined and purple and an active link is underlined and red.
