I'm pretty sure there's no way to do what you're describing. But if you want the link color to match the body text color, I'd recommend this...

The body text color came from somewhere. Probably a CSS definition. Inspect some text in Firebug to see exactly where the applied color was defined. For example, maybe it points you to a rule like this:

body { color:#666; }

Just add in your A tag right there, so it would be like this. I know it's redundant but I really don't think CSS has a way to say "inherit from one level higher in the cascade than you usually would."

body, a { color:#666; }
