mm on "Trying to change a link color"

Hi,

I've tried changing a link color using the following code:

<style type="text/css">
.red {
	color: #F0022E;
}
</style>
this is a <a href="http://www.link.com" target="_blank" class="red">link</a>

But the color stays blue and I don't know where it comes from.
How can I change this specific link to the color I want?

Help would be appreciated.
