Gmail changes black links to blue in email newsletters

Google’s Gmail changes black links to blue links in email newsletters.  If you have your links styled in black by using either of the following, Gmail changes your links to blue without telling you.  All of your readers will see blue links instead of black.  Why do they do this?  Who knows, but the fix is easy.



style=”color:#000000;”
style=”color:black;”
What’s the fix?  Just change the color to something very close.
style=”color:#111111;”


Now all your links will appear just as you want them to.  Come on Google.  What’s up?
