Poll: Interior lighting

Just wanted to start a poll to see peoples opinions on what colour of interior lighting I should get. Here's some pics of what I have already (more pictures in garage):Note that the 6 buttons next to the dial on the HU can be changed to blue.And I want to replace the dome lights like Wolfman213 did:Anyways, I can't decide if I should get red or blue. I have a red theme going currently, but I'm undecided if the red will be too overpowering...the blue might just look wierd though if I have the red lights under the dash.

Something to consider, maybe where some of the red and blue meet you may see some purple hues?? Not sure if that's possible with them being far away from each other or if they would have to be really close in order for that to happen?That could throw either a kink or a really kewl twist, depending on your perspective, into your over-all theme.

red since everything else on the car is red -- calipers/strut bar/sub lights

Red because:1) Goes with your current color scheme2) Better for night vision (seriously)

I wish I could remember more about the issue, but I thought it was studies in the mid-80's that proved out red, and had them moving to a more green spectrum.(clearly I'm old enough that red isn't good for me anymore :-) )

I don't think that's an issue for Amtron. He's a little younger than you and I.

It's really there and I just can't see it with my decaying eyes!DavePS about the lighting, why do you need to be able to see your feet as you drive along?!? Just in case you forget where the brake pedal is?? I like my cars and Dash lights to be as dark as possible,yet still be able discern the speed and other vitals, to reduce eye strain and interior light reflection, a dark interior makes for easier and safer night driving.I know, I'm just not "cool" or whatever the latest word that means cool is today.
