Link style question?

[WAHCC]

I'm working on coding the Sidebar for Ultimate sidebar, which is going to contain a series of links back to the main site.

In order to have the sidebar work, I've got the background color set, and am trying to set the link and vistied link colors.

The only way I've been able to make those link change color is if I change the body link colors, which also changes the rest of the link colors (would be ok except the sideback background is blue and I need white links)

Is there a way to add CSS or a code that changes the link color for the section?

.yourclass a.link {define}
.yourclass a.hover {define}
.yourclass a.visited {define}
.yourclass a.active {define}

<div class="yourclass">
<a href="link">
</div>
