URL's with white text color, good or bad?

white url's with a background picture

Hello

Using white text color with url's, on a white-no background page is like your hiding something. search engines may see an alarm here.

But what about using white text URL's with a background image, like a background dark color and a white link on it! we all know search engines do not know what is the image content - color in our case.

So do you think its safe to use this method? if yes are you sure? cant people make tricks like white links with white background image to trick search engines?!

Hello and thanks for reply

Yes i saw that link before, and they are not specific about it, they are saying: "Using white text on a white background".

OK what if im using a white text with a dark background image? how can Google understand the color of the image? that's the question. or when its about hidden links then it need manual review to decide its against G rules?
