Hi Lesley

I think you mean have two color schemes for say a light colored body area, 
and a dark colored navigation area. If so, I have done the following:

Create two classes; one for the navigation (.nav) and one for the body 
(.body). Since mine is exclusively in a td, I set up the td as needed.

<.td class="nav"> navigation area <./td>
<.td class="body"> body text area <./td>

Then I assign in my CSS page the following:

for the nav
td.nav a:link { color: Aqua; text-decoration: underline}
td.nav a:visited {color: #FFCC33;text-decoration : underline;}
td.nav a:active { color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: underline}

for the body
td.body a:link { color: #0000FF; text-decoration: underline}
td.body a:visited {color: #003300;text-decoration : underline;}
td.body a:active { color: #FF0000; text-decoration: underline}

You can see this in play at the following site

The side nav is yellow and light colors, while the body is in black text 
and darker link colors.

If you need better explanation, let me know.
