Comment (by Travel_girl):

 @Otto42 information and functions are not allowed to be signaled only by
 color, cause color blind people are likely to miss this information.

 because of that, links need an additional design like underlined or
 border-bottom-styles. Othersie color blind people can't see, that there is
 a link.

 For stand alone linkes like menu or post meta, its okay, as it is clear by
 there position that it is probably a link. but when there is text around,
 it is not clear.

 I attache a screenshot in black and white. Its hard to spont the links in
 the text.
