cross-referencing
\documentclass[preprint,review,12pt]{elsarticle}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true, citecolor=black, linkcolor=black, urlcolor=black]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
... \cite{ML1986} .....
... see \hyperlink{app}{\textcolor{black}{appendix}} ....
\appendix
\hypertarget{app}{\section*{Appendix.}}
section*{Mass matrix}
....
\section*{Gyroscopic matrix}
...
\end{document}
I get the following
How can I put the reference [17] in black not in blue?
Edit without cleveref (redefining \ref but using xstring):
\documentclass[1p]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lineno}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\modulolinenumbers[5]
\journal{Journal of \LaTeX\ Templates}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{xstring}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks = true,
citecolor = blue,
linkcolor=blue %%%ADDED for the links (needed in e.g. article)
}
%%%ADDED FOR THE ANSWER
\usepackage{xstring}
\makeatletter
\AtBeginDocument{
\let\oldref\ref
\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\IfBeginWith{#1}{fig:}%
{{\color{blue}Figure~\oldref{#1}}}%
{\IfBeginWith{#1}{tab:}{{\color{blue}Table~\oldref{#1}}}{Unsupported ref start}}}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
\begin{table*}
\caption{Comparison} \label{tab:accuracy_static_defl}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c c c c c c}

\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{example-image-a}

Old Answer with cleveref:
Here is an answer for you to check because I have not the cls file:
\documentclass[1p]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{lineno}
\modulolinenumbers[5]
\journal{Journal of \LaTeX\ Templates}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
colorlinks = true,
citecolor = blue,
linkcolor=blue %%%ADDED for the links (needed in e.g. article)
}
%%%ADDED FOR THE ANSWER
\usepackage{cleveref}
\let\oldcref\cref
\def\cref#1{\color{blue}\oldcref{#1}}
\begin{document}
\section{Introduction}
%\begin{table}[H]
\begin{table*}
\caption{Comparison} \label{accuracy_static_defl}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c c c c c c}
\hline
\multirow{3}{*}{Smith($\mu$)} &\multicolumn{2}{c}{Numerical solution}\\ \cline{2-3}&Deflection($\mu$)&error\\ \cline{2-3} \cline{4-5}
&App 1 &App2\\
\hline
100.34500&100.345098&100.0286& \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
%\end{table}
\end{table*}
In the \cref{accuracy_static_defl}..
\end{document}
The idea is to use cleveref package that provides \cref command. And I redefined this command to print everything in blue. (The colorlinks)

If you are writing an official paper for this journal, you should not change their defaults. However,
elsarticlechecks, ifhyperrefis loaded. If it finds this package, it does its own color definitions\AtBeginDocument. If you just do your own\hypersetupthe very moment after that, you will have forcedelsarticleto use your style.The normal procedure, however, would be to do
\usepackage[colorlinks=false, hidelinks]{hyperref}. But I guess, you want to have some colors somewhere.
