changing link colors

[bojomojo]

hello, I need to change the links' colors in the user info part

this part

<if condition="$show['member']">

    <td nowrap="nowrap">

    <div class="smallfont">

        <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[welcome_x_link_y]</phrase></strong><br />

        <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

 

        <if condition="$show['notifications']">

            <div><span id="notifications"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[your_notifications]:</a> <strong>$notifications_total</strong></span></div>

            <script type="text/javascript"> vBmenu.register("notifications"); </script>

        <else /><if condition="$show['pmstats']">

            <div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></div>

        </if></if>

by links I mean, the username, and private msgs link.. I need to change it only here, so i dont want to mess the parent style,

But i dont know where to add my new class as phrases doesnt respond to classes
