Cross Reference Colors

Question

Hello, I need help to make the font of cross-references blue. I've looked at other posts related to the issue and have attempted the steps but for whatever reason, my cross-references remain black.

1. In the character catalog, I create a new style:

2. In the cross reference pod, I click on the building block labled 'hyperlink_blue' and add it to the cross reference I'm trying to create

3. When I click on insert, I get the following. The font remains black, not blue

In other posts, some say to go to View>Colors>Views to see if the color blue is hidden. As far as I can tell it's not.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you,

I don't think you're building the Format correctly - shouldn't the character tag go before the bit that you want to change colour? And shouldn't there be a </> "ender" after using it?

Edit - like:
<$chapnum>.<$sectionnum><Hyperlink_Blue><$paratext></>
