Changing color of underlining in Pages

I have text that I've copied from a webpage into Pages. The underlining is orange and I can't figure out how to change the color of the underlines to black. Some of the underlined text was hyperlinked (but not all). I've removed the hyperlinks and want to retain the underlining, but change its color.

Select the text that you want to change its underline color. Press the command+T keys to bring up the Font panel. The button just to the right of the gear icon on the Font panel toolbar governs underlines. Click that button, and select Color from its menu. Choose a black color from the Color chooser dialog. Then, click the underline toolbar button again, and select Single.


You have now changed the underline color of your originally selected document text to black. This also might be a good time to add that still selected, and black underlined text as a new Character style (e.g. Black Underline), so you can just change any future color underlines (or links) to a black underline.
