CSS Link Problems

I'm having a bit of difficulty adding some CSS to a link. I'm using a CMS that automatically generates menus in an unordered list. However, where you're on a given page, it applies class="active" the the li and not to the link itself. This works fine for adding a background to the link, but I'm trying to change the link color. 

<li class="active">
<a href="#">Link</a>
</li>

I'm having difficulty coming up with the CSS to say "If a link is in an li with class="active" then make the link text color x."

How might I accomplish this?

Thanks!

the path is

li.active a { color: .... }

The MDC CSS Reference has good examples for the various types of selectors.
