Why colors of links don't revert to original a:link color after closing and reopening the index.html?

Curious as to why the colors in this 'Lists' lessons of the links do not return to original orange color. I clicked all of the links, they turn lightblue as they should but they do not return after refreshing or closing and then reopening the index.html file in a webpage.

/* Pseudo-classes ------------------ */

a:link {
  color: rgb(255, 169, 73);
  text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
  color: lightblue;
}

a:hover {
  color: rgba(255, 169, 73, .4);
}

a:active {
  color: lightcoral;
}

Hi Daniel,

You will have to clear your browser cache for things to return to their original state.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for prompt reply. Just wanted to makes sure it wasn't something missing from the code, because I couldn't identify it for the life of me.
