Default Which colors for LED backlit gauges?

So,
Here we go again, we need you input!
We are going to run some of these dials next week to see what we have. This is a new style based on our 1969 and 2020 series gauge sets. We want to take the look upscale while having a modern, performance look. Its a pretty clean design with the addition of our redline (the name of the series is Redline) and the spun metal perimiter on the dials.
We need some input as to which way to go with backlighting them at night.
We went with red bacause red is actually better for your eyes adjusting to at night. Red will not dialate your eyes as much giving you a better view back at the road, your eyes will need less time to adjust than most other colors. I remembered this from astronomy class, and it was right. We used red flashlights to look at charts to keep our eyes adjusted to the dark.

Thanks in advance.
Mark

Option 2: red/white


Option 3:red/blue


Option 4:
