What colour would you do your dash bulbs?

As title, the clocks backlight, switches backlight etc. What colours would you do yours. I don't want neon blue - I don't think it really suits the age of the car.

I voted green cause I'm boring!!

I tried to do all my switches with green leds (as some were very dim and some dead), but I couldn't manage to do the leccy window switches, they are right little buggers!

I replaced all the bulbs with LEDs a few weeks ago as I couldn't see anything, although I quite like the green (not many cars have it), I fancy a change.

My seats are yellow - I wonder what that would look like ;)

I voted red, but I would go with red switches with green clocks.

Red for me, but it can't be too bright, i'd say it would have to be quite soft and a consistant brightness with no bright spots.

Yes they are green, but mine are quite dim. I meant replace with shiny new ones.
