in your CSS you need to make sure you target link elements with a title attribute so you want your css to be something like;

a[title] { color: darkred; }

the 'a' will target <a> link elements and the [title] makes sure that only link elements with a title attribute get targeted.

changing [class] in your CSS stylesheet to a[title] should do the trick.
