<aside> ℹ️ Links are an essential part of web interfaces. They create internal and external navigation, help users get information and perform actions. In other UI, such as applications, the role of links is insignificant; clickable areas and buttons are used instead.

The correct link design in web interfaces can determine how quickly users get what they need and whether they get it at all. Link color plays one of the most critical roles in this.
The color of the links can be anything: red, green, or orange, but it's more familiar when it's blue. This is an established pattern, and it has long become natural for many users. The blue color in the text for people will mean a link, and they will not need to spend a long thought before clicking on it.
The color of the links can be anything, but it is more familiar when it is blue.
It all depends on the context and design style, of course. Suppose the red color acts as various accents in the interface design. In that case, it creates appropriate connections for users; in this case, the text's red links will usually be perceived without ambiguity.
Red links in the context of red accents look natural.
When a link is used as a call to action, its contrast and difference from the text are crucial. So it's hardly worth compromising here, and you should always highlight the link with a color different from the text. Even an icon may not help to create a significant emphasis. Color will do its job better.
Even the icon doesn't help much to highlight the call-to-action link, but the color and underline work.
Purple can be a dangerous color for links, as long as it is still associated with the visited state, although this practice in web design has not been used for a long time. Most sites have the same link color for both visited and unvisited links.
