My nephew is full red/green color blind.  So is his uncle (my
brother-in-law).  They think it is a Mediterranean thing (Turkish Cypriots).
Anyway, my nephew got my old 5ksct 5sp.  He has never complained about
reading the dash at night or in low light situations.  My brother-in-law has
a BuMWiper 740iL.  He has no complaints either.  I don't know why this
contradicts what Chris said tho'.
