Google -- Alternative Color Schemes!

    I suggest that more webmasters take advantage of one, little-known Google freebie called "Google Free,"
    which allows you to place a Google search bar on your Web site that delivers the results pages in a color scheme you specify. If your visitors already have the convenience of powering up Google directly from a Google search bar on your page, then why not go an extra mile and have the results pages reflect the color scheme of your site?! -- some visitors may bookmark your search bar just because they like the color scheme it generates. You also have the option to add your company logo in the results pages -- which Google automatically converts into a graphical link to your site.

    I've created nine Google search boxes. Each one delivers Google results pages in a different, integrated color scheme -- all except three of them having a very dark background color as the basis for the scheme.

    They are:

    charcoal
    navy
    dark green
    dark purple
    chocolate
    dark gray
    tan
    blue
    gray


    They can be accessed from the following URL:

    On that page, I've also included some tips on how to set up your own Google color scheme.

    Limitations:
    * Color-customized results pages are limited to Web searches.
    * You must have a Web site in order for Google to deliver color-customized results pages.

    it's a shame adsense for search doesn't offer this. But I've seen it before.
