I think getAttribute("color") should return the value specified in the
HTML source code and that color serialization, what you might get from
the property  should generally be consistent across APIs. Here is one:

Seems weird specifying color in the HTML. Reminds me of bgColor.
Should there be a way to specify the link's color in CSS? Like
mask-image?
