Change color of just one hyperlink on moderncv

Question

I am using moderncv and I want to change the color of the mail address link in the personal section but I want the rest of the links on my cv to remain blue. Here's an example:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,dvipsnames]{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\firstname{First name}
\familyname{Last name}
\title{Curriculum Vitae}
\address{Address line 1}{Address line 2}
\mobile{Phone}
\email{Email}

\AtBeginDocument{\hypersetup{colorlinks, urlcolor=NavyBlue}}

\begin{document}

\cvitem{Email}{\emaillink{[email protected]}}

  \section{Education}
 \cventry{Year}{Degree}{University}{Location}{GPA. \href{http://www.google.com}{Google}}{}


\cventry{2012}{test}{test}{\texttt{\href{http://www.google.com}{click me}}}{}{}
\cventry{2012}{test}{test}{\texttt{\url{http://www.google.com}}}{}{}

\end{document}

So, I want the [email protected] to appear in black and the google ones to remain in blue. Is there a way to do this? thanks!

Answer 1

A solution could be to group an additional \hypersetup command just for the mail address:

\begingroup%
\hypersetup{urlcolor=black}%
\cvitem{Email}{\emaillink{[email protected]}}%
\endgroup%

This prevents another setup of hyperref later on.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,dvipsnames]{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\firstname{First name}
\familyname{Last name}
\title{Curriculum Vitae}
\address{Address line 1}{Address line 2}
\mobile{Phone}
\email{Email}

\AtBeginDocument{\hypersetup{colorlinks, urlcolor=NavyBlue}}

\begin{document}

\begingroup 
\hypersetup{urlcolor=black}%
\cvitem{Email}{\emaillink{[email protected]}}
\endgroup

  \section{Education}
 \cventry{Year}{Degree}{University}{Location}{GPA. \href{http://www.google.com}{Google}}{}

\cventry{2012}{test}{test}{\texttt{\href{http://www.google.com}{click me}}}{}{}
\cventry{2012}{test}{test}{\texttt{\url{http://www.google.com}}}{}{}

\end{document}

Answer 2

I managed to create what you want by redefining the urlcolor in the document. Start with defining it black, and after the personal section change it to NavyBlue. The following code returns a warning because the urlcolor macro is changed.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,dvipsnames]{moderncv}
\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\firstname{First name}
\familyname{Last name}
\title{Curriculum Vitae}
\address{Address line 1}{Address line 2}
\mobile{Phone}
\email{Email}

\AtBeginDocument{\hypersetup{colorlinks, urlcolor=Black}}

\begin{document}
\cvitem{Email}{\emaillink{[email protected]}}
\hypersetup{urlcolor=NavyBlue}
\section{Education}
\cventry{Year}{Degree}{University}{Location}{GPA. \href{http://www.google.com}{Google}}{}


\cventry{2012}{test}{test}{\texttt{\href{http://www.google.com}{click me}}}{}{}
\cventry{2012}{test}{test}{\texttt{\url{http://www.google.com}}}{}{}

\end{document}
