Blue seems to be the color de jour around here, but if you are planning to use the boat at night, then red LED's are really the only ones that I would put in. The reason is that the red spectrum will not destroy your night vision like blue or white will. (That's why you always see Navy ships with red lights on at night time)..Trust me on this one...
 
..... thanks.. I knew that certain colors helped the night vision , I just wasn't sure which one... thanks for the help
 
I like the red for night vision, but ones you could change color would be nice too for when you're tied up at some waterfront nightclub in S. Fla.
