Cathode Color for BCP
Okay, so here's the deal...I've already started doing some lighting for my car. I went with some cheap blue cathodes I was able to pick up at a computer show/sale. The blue is cool and all but I'm not shure if it really flows with my car's color. I kinda feel like white may be the right accent color, but I don't know how it would look. I also was considering UV and gold, but as far as I know, gold is not an availible CC color, and amber just doesn't do it for me, too bland.
What do you guys think? What color (either of my suggestions, or any color you think works best) should I go with? Keep in mind I plan on doing my dash/wheel/door/hvac/hu to compliment / match this color.
And secondly, once the color is decided upon, here's an idea I've been toying with. While installing some led's under the front seats I noticed the fabric on the back is like sharkscreen/silkscreen (i.e. transmits light from inside well, block from outside well). I was thinking of getting two pieces of flat PVC and cutting out a scion logo in each. Then mounting some cathodes on the backside and mounting it all under the fabric of the back of the seats so when the cathodes are turned on, a "ghostly" scion logo glows from within the seats.

White will match anything, in other words, you can't go wrong with choosing that color. In reality though, whatever color you end up getting, if you continue the color elsewhere in the car, it'll look fine.
That scion logo sounds like a cool idea btw ;)
