Unfortunately, "good color" is in the same boat as "good audio". It is
very subjective and varies so much with individuals.
I rememeber when color PC monitors became available. It opened a whole
new era of trying to please everybody with a color scheme for
programs. There was no one color scheme which came close. I remember
especially one woman in the office who preferred a blood red background
for her applications.
One can study the problem and find a set of colors that pleases many,
however it will displease an equal or greater number.
Such is human nature.
BTW- I remember when 16 colors was the max # available. It suited me
just fine. The XYL couldn't stand just 16 colors. She apparently
needed thousands. We face this issue every time there is a room to
paint. Did you know there were hundreds of colors of "white"? I
can't tell the difference in them. However the XYL says she can and it
is important. I have to believe her. There is one data point which
seems to prove it.
One room was painted several years back. It was time to paint
another. Without any preconception on color, we went to the paint
store without paint samples or other color references. She picked out
a custom color she "liked" from the thousands there. We got home. I
compared the paints color mix to the older paint can we still had
floating around from the previous room's paint job. An identical match!

Bruce, N7RR's plea for better colour contrast is, well, right on the button.
The many of us (mostly males) who have reduced red sensitivity will have found
the numerals on the dark grey keypad very hard to read. But at least we can
congratulate Elecraft on avoiding the even greater menace of those pesky
multi-coloured LEDs!
