How do we achieve this light blue colour for links?
From the answer to this question: Extend the hyperref link to Figure and a, b, c:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{todonotes}
\usepackage[colorlinks,linkcolor=black,anchorcolor=black,citecolor=black,filecolor=black,urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}
\newcommand*{\figref}[2][]{%
\hyperref[{fig:#2}]{%
Figure~\ref*{fig:#2}%
\ifx\\#1\\%
\else
\,#1%
\fi
}%
}
\begin{document}
\hypersetup{linkcolor=blue}
\chapter{one}
\begin{figure}[t]
\missingfigure[figwidth=6cm]{- << Ciel, mon mari >> dit-elle !}
\caption{a: Missing figure, and b: still missing figure.}
\label{fig:missing Figure}
\end{figure}
The figure \figref{missing Figure} contains two subfigures.
Something in \figref[a]{missing Figure} and some other thing in
Figure \figref[b]{missing Figure}.
\end{document}

\usepackage{hycolor}, use the color picker tool of any bitmap editor, set it using\hypersetup{linkbordercolor=[rgb]{1,0,0}}, see p. 2 in said manual, where 1 probably corresponds to 255 in ordinary RGB-speak. (And check the hyperref manual again, taking the next comment into account ...) – MS-SPO May 30 '23 at 11:18\hypersetup{linkcolor=[rgb]{0,0.5,0.73}}which is my closest match. If someone can do better, feel free to comment :) – Math May 30 '23 at 17:30
