You need to change the FollowedHyperlink built-in style.

Since you want to preserve your original format and you have multiple formats, setting FollowedHyperlink to a specific color or font won't help. You need to make the built-in style respect the underlying style you applied before clicking the link.

Here's how to do that:

1.To display the styles window click Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S .
2.Click Options ... and then under Select styles to show choose All styles.
3.Scroll down a bit and you'll see the FollowedHyperlink style. Hover above it with your mouse and then click the small arrow that appears next to it.
4.Click Modify ....
5.In the Style based on dropdown list choose (underlying properties).
6.Set the font color to Automatic. The dialog box should look like the screenshot below.
7.Click OK.

Now, for reasons I haven't figured out yet, this may not work for the first click (it will become black) but if you apply your color again then the next clicks will preserve your style.

First of all, when you change any colors on your page (background, text, link, hover link, active link, visited link), then you should change them all, in case some of your page's visitors have overridden the default browser colors.

Second of all, since visited links are still links, I think that their colors should not differ much from the regular links' colors. Purple (default for visited) vs. Blue (default for links) are close together on the color triangle. As Awesh mentioned, the nature of the difference which seems intuitive to new vs. old (visited) link is a fresher color vs. duller color e.g. less bright or less saturated.

Third of all, make sure all your text colors have high enough contrast from the background. E.g. if the background is white, make all the text colors at least as dark as 50% grey and if your background is black, make all the text colors at least as bright as 50% grey, or better yet, check out the W3C guidelines or explanation in this answer.

Forth of all, if you do alter the default colors, consider offering an alternative theme, in case the theme you choose is not comfortable for some visitors
