Select a light colour for the dark part and a dark colour for the light
part.  Obviously that makes the links more difficult to detect, which is
why it is better not to override the user's colours in the first place.
If you do mix colours like this, you should probably not override the
underlining of the links, so there is at least one common feature for
all links.  (Typical commercial web pages can be much worse than this.
When I looked at a, not particularly overdesigned page, I found about 
5 or 6 different conventions for indicating links, all to be learned/
discovered.

FONT FACE is one channel.  CSS style elements are another channel.
External CSS style sheets are another one.  XSLT style sheets are another,
etc.
