Yes. The second parameter of getComputedStyle specifies the pseudo-
element. 'hover' is not a pseudo-element, it is a matching condition
on an actual element. You have to pass the empty string instead. It
will also only return the desired result if the link is actually
being hovered in the moment the code is executed. There is no way to
query for what the computed value of the color property will be once
the element is being hovered, other than by implementing much of CSS
yourself.
