Yes it's blue. I took the gauges apart and put a translucent blue vinyl on the numbers I wanted to make blue.

It's really nice. I did it to look kinda like my VW. I love the colors on the instrument panel. The blue is very easy on the eyes. Isn't very bright, but easy enough to see during the day.
