Customizing Link Color via Customizing Color Schemes does not affect Sidebar links in Spaces

Summary

Customizing the Link Color via the Customising Colour Schemes panel does not affect all links in the sidebar within Spaces.

Steps to Reproduce

• Confluence Administration > General Configuration > Colour Scheme > Edit
• Change Links to a custom color (#E90029)
• Save

Expected Results

All links should be turned red on all pages-- Dashboard, Spaces, Pages

Actual Results

Not all links' colors are changed. If you go to any Space, the page tree will not be affected

Notes

• Tested, and does not affect versions 5.8.18, 5.8.16
• Version 6.0.0-OD-2016.02: Only affect unvisited links. Visited links worked fine.

Workaround (For Server Version)

Adding the below CSS to fix the issue:

• Confluence Administration > General Configuration > Style Sheet > Edit

• .acs-side-bar a,
  .acs-side-bar td a
  { color: #E90029; }
  

• Save

No workaround for Cloud version at the moment
