I would like a multicolored link text to be completely one color when the link is visited.

Here's what I have:

.box A:visited {

color: #FFFFFF;
}

The form is basically
<a href=""> this text <green> is</green> multi-<blue>colored</blue> </a>

Once the link is clicked all the link text should be black. Is this feasible? How should the order of inheritance be done?
