Blue day

I hate blue LED's. There, I said it. They're tacky, overused, and too eyecatching for something that tells you your toaster is 'on'. And now, validation from a Wired News article. IT's official: Blue LED's are tired and overused, they make you depressed, and they hurt your eyes.



Cool people always preferred red LED's anyway.

Amber dash lights are fine if as long as the gauges have white needles- red needles get lost in the clutter. My preference is for green lettering with orange needles though. And I do like Saab's black panel- at night the speedometer is iluminated and nothing else, unless a gauge is reading an abnormal level, in which case its illumination is turned on. Nice :-)

I cant imagine Porsche doing anything as tacky as fitting blue lighting to their cars, especially as its been proven to be difficult to look at...

Red is annoying!

I much prefer the blue lighting on my VW Passat, than I ever did the amber in my Audi!
