There are many css-samples for styling color of links.

html5boilerplate.com offers such css code for link:

a { color: #00e; }
a:visited { color: #551a8b; }
a:hover { color: #06e; }​

Is it good enough for most cases?

Or maybe better css-code exist for styling color of links?

    That’s definitely will suffice in vast majority of cases.

    Just keep in mind that the correct order of styles for links is:

    a:link           { color: #c00 }  /* unvisited links       */
a:visited        { color: #0c0 }  /* visited links         */
a:hover, a:focus { color: #00c }  /* user hovers, or focus */
a:active         { color: #ccc }  /* active links          */

    The outline might look “ugly” for you, but that’s a very important accessibility feature. If you remove that – please take care of providing an alternative way to properly distinguish the current element (bigger/bolder font, high contrast background etc.)
