I definately use different colors on my publishing sites when it comes to Adsense, and usually on those sites the majority of high visibility links are internal to the site. Really my only goal with this blog is to get people to read the posts, subscribe to the RSS feed (I could do a better job at that), and link to the posts on their own blog if they like them. If I ever get an ebook put out I will integrate it into the blog in a very visible way; contrasting but not annoying.

If you are talking contrast for things to get peoples attention, dont you want them to click the links? That in my opinion would mean underlining your blog headers so they look like the links they are, and changing the colours of the links inside the text to make them more obvious.
