Hi, @bill3786
If you want to disable the color change then a: visited must come before a: hover. Below are the solutions.
a {color:#FF0000;} /* Unvisited link */
a:visited {color:#00FF00;} /* Visited link */
a:hover {color:#FF00FF;} /* Mouse over link */
a:active {color:#0000FF;} /* Selected link */
Furthermore, if you're willing to disable the :visited would style it with a non-pseudo class like this.
a, a:visited { color: gray; }
a:hover { color: red; }.
