For the simple reason of "Because you visited it." Browser developers found that it is convenient to separate which links on a page you have already seen and which ones you have not. It is a subtle way of telling you that the purple link will take you somewhere you've already been, and the blue link will take you somewhere new.

The colors of the links changed by the website designer through the page's HTML code, style sheet, etc. Or by the viewer, if not specified by the designer, through the browser's settings.
