changing the colors of links

I am new to the forums, and although I have done web design in HTML, Java Script and CGI it has been awhile, about 20 years in fact. I have don very little with CSS. Please bear with me as I will likely have several questions. I do have extensive experience with Visual Basic, I have had Java and C# classes but that is where it ended. So I at least have the foundations for scripting and programming

Is it possible to change the colors of links, visited and hover multiple times on a single page?

IE if I have two groups of links can I have one set of links behave one way and the second group behave another?

Is this for something you are creating? If so, yes, there's a few different ways you can code your page to do so

So to provide you with the best solution... can you describe what you are looking for? I know you asked "Is it possible to change the colors of links, visited and hover multiple times on a single page?", but can you clarify what you mean by "multiple times"? Do you mean that every time a user hovers over the link, it changes the color to a new one?

I am having problems getting this to work. Below is what I have in the styles.css file.

Is there an issue here or do I need to look elsewhere?

Code: 
a.group1:link {color: #033f69;}
    a.group1:visited {color: black;}


    a.group2:link {color: purple;}
    a.group2:visited {color: gold;}

Here is a working example of a way:

CSS: 
.group-a a:any-link {
    color: green;
}
.group-a a:hover {
    color: red;
}

.group-b a:any-link {
    color: #ffa500;
}

.group-b a:hover {
    color: rgb(20,108,205);
}

HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="group-a">
        <a href="#">Link 1</a><br />
        <a href="#">Link 2</a><br />
    </div>
    <hr>
    <div class="group-b">
        <a href="#">Link 3</a><br />
        <a href="#">Link 4</a><br />
    </div>
</body>
</html>
