This question should probably have gone to gnome-libs-devel list instead 
-- it isn't related to development of GTK+ itself.

You need to set a style property that applies to GnomeHRef objects to 
set the link colour (this is how Anders asked me to implement it).  For 
instance:
 style "hrefs" {
   GnomeHRef::link_colour = "red"
 }
 class "GnomeHRef" style "hrefs"

would probably do it.
