Google Testing Yellow Background Color Behind AdWords Ads?

JenSense reports spotted Google testing a yellow background color for the top sponsored results in Google.

I have heard others seeing this randomly, so it is possible that this is a running Google AdWords user interface test.

To my knowledge, Google has been testing different colors of the AdWords for some months now. The version I saw last month of tend to be more orange-ish.

Great idea for differentiating between paid and unpaid listings.

The biggest moan I get from clients is that they want to be top and not in the side bar - I hope this will move forward.

I don't doubt it with Google :)

Great idea for differentiating between paid and unpaid listings.
