No, the color is the same incorrect light blue in PP 2013.

In PowerPoint the link colors can only be set in themes, not individually:

Not sure how LO can properly support that, though if there's a single given color this should be possible.

Hi,

I won't be able to reproduce this since I've long moved on from that version of ubuntu and LO.

If the only course of action now for this bug is to close it, let's do it.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
