When the same issues came up during the design, many months ago, I went 
trough many, more than 30, variations to try and find that color you are 
searching for now. I ended up with the current design where using color 
for links just gets in the way of readability, regardless of color. 
Hence why it's using underlines, and leaving the text color uniform. 
Unless the link status can be seen from the context as it is on the 
sidebar menus, where everything is a link and therefore don't have 
underlines.

Just an FYI ;-)
