As the title reads, I'd like to color my ToC in let's say red and the references in my document with another color let's say blue.

here's a MWE of my document :

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\title{test colors}
\author{Oddant}

\hypersetup{
    colorlinks=true,
    linktoc=all,
    linkcolor=blue
}


\begin{document}

\tableofcontents


\chapter{foo}
\section{bar}
go to \ref{lipsum}
\chapter{oof}
\section{rab}
\label{lipsum}
\lipsum
\end{document}

If you compile the code above you would notice that the ToC is in the same color than the reference in the bar section.

How can I color my ToC in black for instance without installing any extra packages like tocloft ?

Is there any parameters to place in hypersetup to get what I want, i peeked into the documentation of hyperref but I come here with any clue.

The command \hypersetup can be used inside the document body. To setup the color you can change the behvaviour inside a local group or by switching.

  1. Using a local group:

    \begingroup
     \hypersetup{linkcolor=red} 
     \tableofcontents 
    \endgroup
    
  2. Switching:

     \hypersetup{linkcolor=red} 
     \tableofcontents 
     \hypersetup{linkcolor=blue}
