One of the best feelings in the world is seeing purple links when browsing Wikipedia

Hyperlinks are traditionally red when being clicked

Red links (at least in wikipedia) link to something that does not exist.

Yes but that’s Wikipedia’s custom CSS, websites can just redefine the color. Since the other colors are default, in the bottom left panel, the color should be #FF0000 for an active link (for the usually short time of being clicked – mouse held down).

That is, the HTML standard effectively includes this CSS that is internal to any compliant browser:

:link { color: #0000EE; } /* normal links are blue */
:visited { color: #551A8B; } /* visited links are purple */
:link:active, :visited:active { color: #FF0000; } /* active links are red */
:link, :visited { text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer; }

a:visited { color: uglyasspurple; /* why is this the standard tho */ }
