Email Hyperlink in different color

Question

I have a very simple problem with my script on Latex and I hope that someone will be able to help me.

I need to add an hyperlink for my email on my cv, so that a recruiter could send me directly an email clicking on it. Also, I would like that this link appears in blue. With the following code, I am able to have an hyperlink. I have searched on this site and on google but I am not able to adjust my code and to make the email appear in blue. Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{casual}
\moderncvcolor{black}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
\firstname{} 
\familyname{\large{blabla}}
\title{\large{Curriculum Vitae}}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\vspace{-1cm}
\small{
\section{Personal Information}
\cventry{Birth}{\textnormal{blablabla}}{blablabla}{blablabla}{}{}
\cvitemwithcomment{Mobile phone}{\textnormal{\small{$+$}blablablabla}}{}
\cventry{Address}{\textnormal{blablabla}}{blablabla}{\emph{}Italy}{}{}
\cvitem{Email}{\emaillink{stancoantonio94@gmail.com}}
\renewcommand{\listitemsymbol}{\textbf{-- }} % Changes the symbol used for lists
}
\end{document}

you can use \PassOptionsToPackage{colorlinks}{hyperref} in the preamble, then colors are activated and you can change them locally or globally in the document. — Ulrike Fischer, Apr 21 '21 at 14:37
Hello, thank for your answer. I have just copied and pasted your line of code at the beginning of my script. It works, but I see the link in a pinky color that I think it is a little bit "unprofessional". How can I switch to a more formal blue? Consider that my latex skills are quite low — Antonio Stanco, Apr 21 '21 at 14:40

It's a two-stage process, based on the answer here: Changing moderncv link color of href. One stage is using the \AtEndPreamble hook, which is how the package does it (https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv). The second stage is changing the urlcolor after \begin{document}.

You may even consider this a duplicate question/answer.
