@nikunj8866 Thanks for working on this.
Please note that only the color needs to be changed here. Any other changes are outside the scope of this ticket.

I've added text-decoration: none; and set the link color to match the default theme color.

On the login screen, link hover colors still use old styles, which looks inconsistent with the updated admin UI. This is noticeable on links like “Lost your password?” and “← Go to site”.
The patch fixes this and matches the new design.

I don't think we should do too much with this ticket. We're on the verge of releasing 7.0 RC1. I think we should ship minimal fixes into 7.0. Whether or not we should add an underline can be considered in a follow-up.
