"DarkBlue" via svgnames option looks less fancy.
How it looks depends on the display/printer setting and individual color sense,
though.

Actually speaking, I was the one who added all those experimental targets.
As 1c is mainly for PDF viewers, I think coloring hyperlinks in 1c layout
should be acceptable. It should also help those who view on tablets (without
mice). 2c layouts won't be affected by the change.
So, I'll prepare a patch to do it. Please give me a short while.

Nice!
I'll submit a v2 of the patch with a proper change log to clarify that
you are the original author. I don't think the" Reported-by:" tag is
good enough. To be honest, I had no idea of the -synctex option before.
