Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

What happens?:
The colors for hovering (var(--color-visited--hover)) and activating (var(--color-visited--active)) will be for a visited link.

What should have happened instead?:
The color should have stayed inherit, as it does when hovering a self-link you haven't visited.

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
English Wikipedia

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Happens on Safari for iOS, and Chrome and Edge for Windows, presumably others

Event Timeline

Also occurs on Microsoft Edge.

@ppelberg I'm trying to figure out whether this workflow (having links be the correct color) is in particular important to the workflow of editors compared to the average WP reader. Could you help take a look to see whether this is something that one of the contributor teams might be interested in addressing?
