There is a big problem in making skip links the same colour as the
background.  Apart from those who use keyboards to navigate, you are not
taking into account those who use screen magnification technology.  These
people tend to locate themselves at top left and scan until something that
is of interest is found.  If using such links I would always advocate top -
left and visible

As I recall (vaguely), Google does penalize same colour text on
background, as that is a favourite keyword-spam trick
