Do you mean in the nice presentation box that pops up when you click on a placemark?

And...

If you want to change the color of the balloon, add this after the <icon id="whatever">

<BalloonStyle>
<color>FF0080</color>
</BalloonStyle>

Just change the color code.

here (http://www.googleearthhacks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6575) is a nice example of colored balloons and pictures.

I use this for pictures on the web:

<img src="PICTURE ULR HERE" width="XXX" height="XXX" border="0"><br>
<a href="PICTURE ULR HERE">TEXT HERE</a>

It adjusts the picture's height and width and adds a link to the original picture as well using the picture text.
