Red for night driving (doesn't disturb your night vision).

Blue, green, white or orange for daylight, depending on weather and mood

You wouldn't be able to tell much difference between the blue and green during the day.

I think its a cool idea. I'll probably change between blue, orange and red. Each of these colors would look good IMO.

I remember reading that the gauges are WHITE when the lights are off...and selected colour, when they are on.

Because its software based...(not a dial) I think it would be cool for a random colour mode

You can choose any of the regular presets, and then you have the 5 levels of RGB, which you use to change the MyColour/ColourShift colour.

So you can have the presets+1 other colour that you make...saved in the computer. (at least from what it looks like)
I was thinking the same thing. Random would be cool.

How about a mood sensor in the steering wheel?

Grip it, and if you're p.o.'d, it'll turn the gauges red... if you're happy, blue... if you're indifferent, white... and if you're feeling really festive, it'll go all over the rainbow.

It's great to hear everyones ideas of what they would do and why. I guess I'd have to make my decision after I see it in person, too. I'm sure I'll see plenty of Mustangs next week as I will be in Flat Rock. So many to look at and so little time!!

I think it's pretty cool. Friends have asked me what options I'm getting & I tell them about MYCOLOR & they are very curious to see it in person....so am I. Think I'll probably have blue or purple most of the time.

I was farting around with the message center on the way home tonight and "discoverd" that it has a shift light. There is a progressive LCD display bar that shows instantaneous MPG and grows as your RPMs lower. I don't think it is that useful but something to fiddle with.

For the My Color: how about flashing colors that are synchronized with the music. You know, like bright red for the heavy bass beats.
