I keep mine on blue. The orange makes my skin look like an oompa loompa and the other colors are girly. Blue looks the best and goes well against the orange on the dash.

I still with the orange, I like it matching the gauges. My daughter gets in, it becomes pink or purple, my son gets in it becomes blue. If I could make my gauges change too, I would stay on blue.

Blue here.

Blue light has been shown to suppress melatonin production. It's just the coolest color.

Mine is almost always on red. Seemed to look good with PW with black highlights.

Ha ha, this is a topic of great disagreement between my kids (3 and 6), one absolutely loves all things orange (amber) and the one loves blue.

Funny...I always use blue, too. Sometimes my 13 year-old asks me to switch to a different color for variety, but it always gets set back to blue when she's gone!

I put an orange LED in place of the dome light, so naturally the ambient lights are orange to match.

Being an SF Giants fan in SF, I can't go wrong with orange lights in a blacked out MINI. I'm actually about to leave for opening day @ AT&T park.

mine is on rotate/rainbow, I'd probably keep it on violet if it didn't let me do that

Mine is orange just like the instrument lighting. I love the ambient lighting, figured it would be a gimmick but it's a cool gimmick.

I let the mood lighting auto-cycle through all colors (2011 S Clubby).
