controlling output appearance of glossary terms

[#1]

I am using RH 2019, with an indigo html5 skin.

My glossary terms in the output are identical to the cross-ref links and hyperlinks (blue, underlined). I went into the css to specify a different color but to no avail. I right-clicked on a gloss term in the output and did 'Inspect', saw this webkit-based code:  

[user agent stylesheet

a:-webkit-any-link {
color: -webkit-link;
cursor: pointer;
text-decoration: underline;]

I then looked for the 'user agent' style sheet, nada. Looked for 'webkit' in the css, nothing found. 

I tried adding the following under <style> to change the color to lime green:

}
a.glossterm:active {
font-family: 'Calibri Light';
color: #00ff00;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: none;
border-color: #00ff00;
border-left: 0;
border-right: 0;
border-bottom: 0;
}
a.glossterm:hover {
font-family: 'Calibri Light';
color: #00ff00;
background-color: #ecf4fd;
}
a.glossterm:link {
font-family: 'Calibri Light';
color: #00ff00;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: none;
border-color: #00ff00;
border-left: 0;
border-right: 0;
border-bottom: 0;
background-color: #ecf4fd;
}
a.glossterm:visited {
font-family: 'Calibri Light';
color: #00ff00;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: none;
border-color: #00ff00;
border-left: 0;
border-right: 0;
border-bottom: 0;
background-color: #ecf4fd;
}

</style>

Didnt work. Any advice on this topic is greatly appreciated.

You want to change the look of the glossary terms in the topic content, correct? You should edit that in your topic stylesheet under Hyperlink Styles. just modify the a.glossterm entry to start with, then change the pseudo elements (active, etc) once you have the basic text sorted.
