I just did a quick check and it looks like it’s still working fine for me. I’m using the Customizer (that comes with the Theme) to control my Theme Colors/Scheme.
If you go to Appearance > Customize > Colors you’ll be able to change the colors from there. That will change the hyperlinks and all of the default colors of the theme to whatever you choose to be the Main color.
Is that not working for you? If not, what version are you running?
