Actually the Stock Backlight LEDs are Green
If you shine a light at the K3 or the KPA500 you will se they also gave a
greenish cast to them when off

Tom,
The LCD display on the K2 has "been what it was" from the beginning
(even for Field Test units).
The backlighting is white (LEDs, not incandescent), but the color of the
actual display is green when backlighted. Actually, it is green when
frontlighted (without the backlight) as well, but more gray than green.
There is no amber LCD for the K2, never has been. I think some posters
confused K2 with the KX2 (which does have an amber LCD - same LCD as the
K3/K3S and the KX3).
The LCD display is a custom display, so duplicating that custom display
for someone who wants an amber display would be quite an expensive
proposition. In other words, an amber LCD for the K2 is not practical.
