yeah paint might work but it will look sloppy haha! no you cant change it you order it form the manufacture either red or blue blue is 30 bucks more but its easier on the eyes at night because you cant focus on it

That made no sense.
It is true that our eyes have difficulty focusing on blue, but that would make things more difficult and lead to eye fatigue.

hi officer

i know my eyes really burn from staring at my blue x50 for hours and hours every night, eye fatigue is a bitch

Blue is the most difficult color of light for our eyes to focus on. Our eyes are less sensitive to blue than other colors of light. Thats why text lit up by a blue backlight is blurrier than text lit up by a white backlight.

I once found a chart showing our eyes color sensitivity to different colors of light. If I find that chart again, I'll post it.

The only reason I like the blue is because it matches the rest of the interior lights. This is the same reason I went with the blue 8500 X50. I also own a red valentine V1 which I like much better, I just wish it were red.
