Google has been toying with the color shading for quite awhile. (It isn't a problem with Chiyo's laptop)

There have been brief moments over the last couple of months when the shading is so faint, it is almost non-existant. Then, A little while later, the shading returns.

I'm sure they are tracking the difference in click-thrus with the various colors. And I'd be willing to bet the lighter they go, the more clicks they get. And I wouldn't be suprised to see the color dissapear completely by the end of 2003.
