Link color change (beyond page properties/links or inline html mark-up)

Question

Besides using the page properties to change all links on the page to a single color, is there a css style or some html code I can add sitewide (vs. inline mark-up for every single link) to override the blue link color and keep all links the color specified in the header and body styles?
Thanks!

Thanks bemdesign--it worked for the most part. But in my footer, the links are incorrectly changing their colors when displayed in IE. When displayed in the design view of DW, they are retaining their proper color without changing blue when I make them links.
Just before the text of the bottom row of my table, I added in the html code:
  <div class="footer">
After the text, I closed it with
   </div>
In my CSS, I added this code:
.footer a:link {
color: #666666;/*links under the elements with a class of footer are gray*/
.footer a:visited{
color: #666666;/*visted links are gray*/
.footer a:hover, .footer a:active{
color: #666666;/*active or hovered lover links are gray*/
While this caused the color of the link in my html in DW to be retained as gray, in IE, it displays as blue. Why is this?
