Guidelines for Choosing Your Link Colors

To get more clicks and increase your CTR, you need to pay attention to your link formatting. A good rule of thumb is to choose link colors that stand out and are easy to recognize.

Here are some tips on picking the color for the links in your emails:

• Color and underline your link text. This will help your link stand out and be easily noticed by readers even when skimming through.

• Consider readers’ accessibility when using colors and underlining texts. For example, if you use colors such as red and green, you want to underline for color-blind users.

• Use different colors for clicked and unclicked links. Typically, the click link colors should be dull, while the ones for unclicked links should be bright to stand out. However, it is generally best to maintain the same color but in different shades.

• Avoid using color for text that isn’t a link. Otherwise, readers may try to click on them and get frustrated when they don’t respond.

• Use a color that complements and contrasts the color of unlinked texts within your email. For example, if your paragraph text is black, your link text should be a color that contrasts nicely.

• Use a consistent color, font, and size for all your linked texts to avoid confusing your readers.

Following these guidelines for choosing your link colors will make it easier for your readers to recognize and ensure they don’t miss out on all the essential linked information.
