For long periods of exposure, like the front panel of a radio, it seems like one would prefer a color that is easy on the eyes and not glaring. Green and orange are bit tiring while soft blue is soothing. Next, we need plenty of contrast so we can see the numbers. Here's where we have trouble. TenTec is using blue on the Jupier now. It's soothing but the white numbers make the display look milky. Black seems too close to blue and doesn't show up well. The orange display on the K3 is a bit tiring but I can read it from across the room. My favorites are displays with a black background and bright colored numbers. Even white looks good.
