WWWNextStep_0.15.tar.gz is dated 1993. It's imported here:

Oh, but what is this:
https://github.com/cynthia/WorldWideWeb/blob/master/NextStep/Implementation/Features.html https://github.com/cynthia/WorldWideWeb/blob/master/NextStep...
26 March 91 version 0.8
Changed anchor highlighting from dark grey to underline, now underline
is available. (I may make underline &/or colour a user preference
or style later.)
So we know that in March of 1991, links were underlined with a thought toward color in the future.
And here's the implementation:
https://github.com/cynthia/WorldWideWeb/blob/62b3c9b5082e45534b256419f010de518ba1dd15/NextStep/Implementation/HyperText.m#L639 https://github.com/cynthia/WorldWideWeb/blob/62b3c9b5082e455...
Which looks to me like it uses the default text color with the option to be changed via style:
