    Just to add a little onto the cookie method I suggest adding a class to the <body> tag so that if in the future you want to do more you could do it without having to modify the PHP.

    For example:

    <?php 
      function dejavu() {
          $class = '';
          if($_COOKIE['beenHereBefore']) {
             $class .= 'beenHereBefore';
           }
          else {
             $class .= 'firstTimeHere';
             setcookie("beenHereBefore", true);
          }
          return $class;
      }
?>

<body class="<?php echo dejavu(); ?>">

    One thing that you want to take into account though is that if a user clears their cookies then it will act as though they are visiting the site for the first time; so I suggest, if possible store it in their user profile if one exists.

    So then in your CSS you can do the following:

    ul li a {color: white;}
.firstTimeHere ul li a {color: blue;}
