And from the same web site, this shot which gives you an idea of how they
get their inspiration:

> Dave:  I think you will find that the plastic that looks makes the numbers
look black in the daytime and red (okay, orange) at night is, in fact, very
dark red plastic.  The IC is back lit, not side or top lit.  Hence the
colour change from black to red at night.  There is no way to get blue
light.  White bulbs = orange lettering at night.  The only way to get redder
would be to have coated bulbs or use red bulb "condoms" (like you get when
you buy an AutoMeter Boost gauge).  Or LED's.
