hyperrefs in textcolor

Question

I have used hyperref (with xcolor) and

\hypersetup{
  linkcolor=black,
  filecolor=black,
  urlcolor=black,
  citecolor=black
}

for quite some time now. However, in a coloured text this looks somewhat silly. Is there a (simple) way to turn of link colours completely? I also do not want these (mostly red) boxes, the links should just look as normal text.

@Johannes_B: Thanks, that helped a lot. Sadly, In Tex Live 2009 (Ubuntu 12.04) the option hidelinks is not present, but there is a helpful answer nevertheless. — Keba, Dec 06 '14 at 15:08
TeX Live is sooo old, i recommend to make an update before starting your next project. — Johannes_B, Dec 06 '14 at 15:09
Is hidelinks really not available with hyperref from 2009? — Johannes_B, Dec 06 '14 at 15:09
Options hidelinks, allcolors, allbordercolors were added in version 2011-02-05 v.6.82a. — Heiko Oberdiek, Dec 06 '14 at 15:11
In short, try to update your system to TeXLive 2014. You won't regret it. — Mico, Dec 06 '14 at 17:01

Maybe you can use the current color . defined by the xcolor package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks,linkcolor=.,filecolor=.,urlcolor=.,citecolor=.}

\begin{document}
\section{Section}\label{test}
{\color{blue}See \ref{test}},
{\color{orange}see \ref{test}}, 
see \ref{test} 
\end{document}

This is helpful, although it should be noted, that for newer versions than Tex Live 2009 there are better options (see the comments above). – Keba Dec 07 '14 at 18:04

If you insist on keeping texlive 2009, install a new hyperref, e.g. from here: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref

You can install into your ~/texmf, and if it doesn't work, simply remove it again. Watch out, if your ~/texmf includes a file ls-R, you have to update it, say texhash ~/texmf.

It is easiest if the OP installs using the .tds.zip file. – jon Dec 06 '14 at 18:04
