Why does an HTML link appear blue in Outlook 2010?

I want to fix this link appearing in the color blue, when it should be white. It happens in outlook 2010.

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px;">
    You are subscribed with email address
    <font style="color: rgb(255,255,255);"><%user.Email%> </font>
    <a href="<%unsubscribe_link_text%>"
        style="color: rgb(174, 215, 51) ! important;">
        <font style="color: rgb(255,255,255);">Click here</font>
    </a> to unsubscribe.
</span>

Can anyone see whats wrong with that and help me? :)

I've always set my colours in the style sheet against the a tag as follows and should work fine in Outlook.

a:link {
color: #666666;
}

a:visited {
color: #666666;
}

a:active {
color: #666666;

Try using hex colors instead of RGB.
