Link Color Scheme

I'm feeling a little difficulty in reading a text of an "active" link.

The new BBS has those color schemes with bright whilte background "#FFFFFF":
- Regular texts in black "#000000" -- good contrast.
- New (unvisited) links in dark grayish blue "#003399" -- good contrast.
- Visited links in brighter blue "#3366cc" -- good contrast.
- Pointed (hover) links in more brighter blue "#6699ff" -- still good contrast.
- Selected (active) links in light blue "#cccccc" -- this doesn't make a good readable contrast with my laptop's LCD display.

The color scheme is very consistent and I guess you don't want to put any other "group" of color in it, but I'd like to see at least a darker color for active links so that it makes links easier to read.
