Background Color Same As Text When Placing Text On Top Of An Image

[Boogalou]

I'm working on a website where the "page" background is the same color as the text. The thing is that I filled in the tables where the text is with a custom color which I created from a jpeg. So technically the background is red, with a jpeg on top of the red background (completely different color), with red text on top of the jpeg.

Will the search engines be able to "see" that the text is written on top of a color completely different from the background, or will they not see the jpeg and penalize the site having a red background and red text?

Thanks!

well,

If your text is a jpg file,than it's all right.
If your text is a real text (editable with any text editor such as Word),than you should change it.

hope to be helpful.

You could easily get the 6 digit code for the color out of a graphics program and use that instead of a picture?

The test is the foreground color compared to the background color. If they are the same, spam. Even if you put an image between them, the SE's won't see that.

Second, you need to think of a competitor seeing it and ratting you out. Then a SE human will look at it, see the image masking and you are busted for real.

This is not a good idea. The risk is to great for what ever the reward could be. Do it right.
