Setting \hypersetup{citecolor=...} has no effect on \cite{...}?

[user202729]

MWE (originally reported in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/104290/250119 ):

\documentclass{beamer}

\hypersetup{
  colorlinks = true,
  citecolor = green
}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
This is a great result~\cite{Paper}.
But this is a link to slide~\ref{Bib}.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Bibliography}\label{Bib}
\begin{thebibliography}{}
  \bibitem[Author, 1942]{Paper}
    Author. B.
    \newblock The great result.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Result: both are red.

Expected: the cite is green, the ref is red.

I'd be very careful with colorlinks in beamer. Beamer uses links in a lot of places and switching on link colours can destroy carefully set up themes.

Instead I'd locally switch the text colour to colour the citations.

How problematic. Is there no automated tests to detect such unintended changes (I thought there is /testfiles ?)

Which unintended changes?

Anyway, it looks easy enough to avoid changing color of anything except citecolor by allcolors=..

Other than that this should still be a fixable bug?
