Default Making anchor text a different colour on a website

I'll be using a dark brown text on a website (close to black) and I will be looking to make anchor words stand out a little so that they are clicked on.

What colour would you suggest I used?

Ideally something complementing Pantone 1545 CS R: 77 G: 48 B: 33

Perhaps
hex code 8B4513 ?

Help would be appreciated.

is the background going to be white?

If so an olive colour with an underline could work: #A29616 or something a bit greener: #67A216

The background will be white

The current colour is orange but it is a bit bright
An olive might work - thanks
