How to color a link using hyperref package

Question

I'm trying to color one word using hyperref package as a homework to school,I was looking for some examples in the internet how to do it...but whatever I did it doesn't work.

My preamble:

   \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
    \usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}
    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
    \usepackage[OT4]{polski}
    \usepackage[polish]{babel}
    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage{enumitem}
    \usepackage{makeidx}
    \usepackage{multirow}
    \usepackage{caption}
    \makeindex
    \usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}

Źródło tekstu i ilustracji: \href{https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw_Lem}{Wikipedia}

\end{document}

Now In PDF i need to have this looks like this

i guess its color Magenta in package hyperref but i dont know what commands i should use now in my code to color this

option colorlinks, also please post a full minimal example so we have something to just copy and test. We have no idea what your preamble looks like her. BTW: welcome to the site. — daleif, Nov 02 '17 at 11:44

To get colored links, give hyperref the colorlinks option either as

\usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref}

or after loading hyperref issue

\hypersetup{colorlinks}

You can control the four hyperref colors via

linkcolor=colorname,
citecolor=colorname,
filecolor=colorname,
urlcolor=colorname,

where colorname is an existing colorname. By default urlcolor is magenta under colorlinks.
