Building on the question asked here, I just wanted the web hyperlink to be blue but the other hyperlinks to remain the color it was. 

\documentclass[11pt,fleqn]{book}
\usepackage{etex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{chap1.bib}
 @online{pll_wikipedia,
    url={http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop},
    author = {Wikipedia},
    %note = {Last visited on <insert date here>},
    title = {Phase-Locked Loop},
    %month = aug,
    %year = {2006},
}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}

\usepackage{avant}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{microtype} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{calc} 
\usepackage{textcomp} 
\usepackage{empheq}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{hidelinks,backref=true,pagebackref=true,hyperindex=true,colorlinks=true,breaklinks=true,urlcolor= blue,bookmarks=true,bookmarksopen=false,pdftitle={`Title},pdfauthor={Author}}
\usepackage{bookmark}
\bookmarksetup{

addtohook={%
\ifnum\bookmarkget{level}=0 % chapter
\bookmarksetup{bold}%
\fi
\ifnum\bookmarkget{level}=-1 % part
\bookmarksetup{color=ocre,bold}%
\fi
}
}

\usepackage[refsection=chapter,defernumbers=true,sorting=none,sortcites=true,autopunct=true,babel=hyphen,abbreviate=false,backref=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{chap1.bib}
 \defbibheading{bibempty}{}

\AtBeginDocument{\urlstyle{same}}%

\begin{document}
\noindent
This is just some text to show the text lines before the align environment \cite{pll_wikipedia}.

\begin{tabular}{lll}
  T1 & - & This is an explanation of equaion 1 \\
  T2 & - & This is the explanation of another equ \\
  T2T3 & - & $\dfrac{Test}{Test2}$ \\
\end{tabular}

\newpage
\section*{Bibliography}
\subsection*{Online}
\printbibliography[heading=bibempty,type=online,prefixnumbers={O}]

\end{document}

If I run this code, my other hyperlinks (like \cite, \label, \tableofcontents colors get affected. Is there a way to locally change just the web url color with this setup?

  • you need colorlinks=true,linkcolor=black – touhami Jul 14 '15 at 22:55
  • You hypersetup twice, one with colorlinks, once without. Get rid of the one that doesn't contain colorlinks. Btw, this reference should be of type @online\ rather than@misc, andhowpublished = {\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop}},should be replaced with the simplerurl={http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop},`. – Bernard Jul 14 '15 at 23:12
  • @Bernard, thanks for your input with the @online, however, when I use @online, and I place a period after the link: url={http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop.},, there is a problem with the hyperlink. If I however use the @misc with howpublished = {\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop}.}, the link works fine. The period is not part of the actual link in this latter case. – Joe Jul 20 '15 at 13:27

Updated: Edit You need to add colorlinks=true or colorlinks enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\hypersetup{hidelinks,
backref=true,
pagebackref=true,
hyperindex=true,
breaklinks=true,
colorlinks=true,%linkcolor=black,
urlcolor=blue,
bookmarks=true,
bookmarksopen=false,
pdftitle={Title},
pdfauthor={Author}}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
bla bla 

\url{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-locked_loop}
\section{first}\label{mm} bla bla
\section{last} bla bla \ref{mm}
\end{document}

  • If I use the command \hypersetup{hidelinks,backref=true,pagebackref=true,hyperindex=true,colorlinks=true,breaklinks=true,urlcolor= blue,bookmarks=true,bookmarksopen=false,pdftitle={Title},pdfauthor={Author}}, my tableofcontents, figure numbers, and \cite all also change colors. I just want the url in the bib to be blue without affecting the rest of my document. I am using the Legrand Orange book template. – Joe Jul 15 '15 at 03:18

I followed the command from here: \renewcommand\UrlFont{\color{red}\rmfamily\itshape} and was able to just change the url font and color.

  • This command does not allow the link to automatically break between multiple lines. So for me, using in my preamble \hypersetup{urlcolor=blue} worked better. – jeannej Jan 09 '23 at 19:27
