Default Help for Color Challenged Individual

Ok, so I am a little color challenged here.
I would like to change my instrument panel overlay and already have the design picked out. My car is NBM, my radio puts out blue light, and the mount it sits in puts out blue light. Would getting my instrument panel in blue be too much? Or is it possible to do NBM color or would that be too much? <--I guess this would be a question for 6LE.

I personally did red in my NBM car but I also had red lighting. I think blue (our dark blue) overlay would actually look pretty good....

+1. Do the navy blue gradient (like mine but in NB)

Thanks for your inputs, I am gonna go with that, well am already attempting to. I already sent 6LE an email with a question I had about the gauge and then I will go ahead and buy it. On another note I am happy I am making extra money on this deployment because I have to drop 1500 on my house for some stupid a/c leak, even though I don't get to enjoy the cool weather, instead I get 100+ degree weather.

Ok, I got the overlay all picked out now I am trying to order some LED's for it, I have read that I need 5 or 8, and that would be just the main lighting. Do I need to get some green LED's for the blinkers?

You need five for the gauges, two green for the turn signals, and one blue for the high beam indicator.
