I know I can use the package hyperref for urls, but I want is to create a definition that uses this and assigns a color, for example

\c{url}{Something}

would write Something in crimson color linked to the url (and assume default urls aren't in crimson)

You can use hyperref options, and locally modify it when needed.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[colorlinks=true,urlcolor=magenta]{hyperref} \newcommand{\myhref}[2] {\hypersetup{urlcolor=blue}% \href{#1}{#2}% \hypersetup{urlcolor=magenta}% } \begin{document} Here is \href{http://www.myurl.com}{my link}. Here is \myhref{http://www.myurl.com}{my special link}. And here, \href{http://www.myurl.com}{another normal link}. \end{document}
