As far as I know there is no way of resetting the colors with a specific property. Browsers will apply basic colors for links and visited links (and much more!). You could 'reset' the colors by declaring the same color for a visited link as the original link color:

a {
   color: red;
}

a:visited {
   color: red;
}
