[sdiy] POLL: Blue LEDs on music hardware?

[Chromatest J. Pantsmaker]

My vote is "hate em".  Though, I suppose that they would be good if
current was limited enough so they weren't so damn bright.

I don't know where I read it, I know it's true for me, but men's eyes
have a harder time focusing on blue light.  I know that I've seen
audio consoles with a red LED timer (real time clock) and a blue LED
timer (count up/down), and staring at the two, the red is crisp, and
the blue is fuzzy.  On this particular high-end console, the intensity
of the blue and red were fairly well balanced.  The blue didn't blow
you away, but it was still slightly fuzzy to my eyes.  (I noticed this
when I was 33).
