Need a nice adsense background color

    The adsense ads really need a good background color that fits in with the rest of the color scheme.
    As the background of the site is template driven, I can not find the color code for the background.

    Can anyone help me out with a good color code to make the adsense ads blend in better?

    Thank you.

    You just need to make the bgcolor the same as what ever the ad is on and blend the text in. So find out what color your bg is and go from there. You do nto have to use google color sets you can create your own.

    As the background of the site is template driven, I can not find the color code for the background.
    I know how to use the color palette at google, but I can not find a good color to match the site.
    Again, the colors on the site are template driver (.gif files) so can not find the color codes for the site backgrounds.

    What I need is either a color code (eg...ff4400) that will blend in good with the background, or a color code that will make the ads stand out in a good way.

    Further to this,
    The blue you are using in your text/links is 22229D
    and the mauve colour is 8B3024
    :) thought I'd put a smiley in to go with your page ;)

    Is coming for this site.
    I just put it up last night.
    So still have some bunches of work to do.
    First though, I would like to better integrate the adsense ads into the site.

    Have several ideas for content...just go to type them up and proof to see if good enough for site.

    iowadawg,
    have you considered a white background for the ads? It would look "clean" and you would not have to worry about matching/clashing colors.
