How to Match Adsense Colors to Your Blog on OS X
One trick to both make your website look more professional and increase your click-through rate is to match your adsense colors to your site colors. Here’s the simplest way to achieve that goal on OS X:
1. Log onto your Google adsense account and select the add unit you want to modify. To do this click on ‘Adsense setup’, then ‘manage ads’. You’ll be presented with a list of all your ads. Click on ‘edit ad settings’ for the one you want to change. Then you’ll see a box called ‘Palettes’ that will let you change the colors of the ads.
2. In another window, open the site you want to match the adsense colors to.
3. On your mac, go to the application folder, then select the utility folder. Inside you will find a program called DigitalColor Meter. Open it.
4. From the pulldown menu, select ‘RGB as Hex Value, 8-bit’
5. You’ll now notice that the DigitalColor meter numbers change based on where the pointer is on the screen. The program takes the color of the pixel the pointer rests on and tells you how the computer describes that color.
6. Place the pointer over a color on your website that you want to mimic, and write down the three numbers that the digital color meter tells you. (It should look something like: 014C06)
7. Go back to the adsense window, enter that number in the part of the adsense ad you want to match it do.
8. Repeat for all the colors and you’re done.
