I changed my custom colors set, and it shows correctly in the Adsense control panel area where I design it, but when I copy the code across to my site and load it up, the ad elements i.e. text and link are all plain white (the background is correct).
Any ideas?

When text and background color are too similar so that G suspects the text will be hard to read it changes the text color to black (on a light background) or white (on a dark background).

Um, OK, well, it isn't close or hard to read, but maybe their computer algorythm(sp) thinks it is, so I'll have a play around and adjust them slightly.

thanks for input.

Hi Mr Bo Jangles,

It sounds like your custom color set may not be loading since there isn't enough of a contrast. If you want to create more of a contrast, try using a lighter background color with a darker text color, or maybe a darker background color with a lighter text color.

Hope this helps!

Well maybe ASA, even though it is VERY easy to read and very contrasty - and even so, don't you think the geniuses at Google could get the 'system' to tell us there's going to be a problem when we *design* our custom color sets rather than design them, transfer them to our pages, upload them, *then* find out there's an issue!#$@##

Try changing the ad layout. I had this problem and it drove me crazy. I changed to a different ad layout and it corrected my problem. Hope it works for you too!
