Dash lights

[smrr1]

So i have a 15 silverado and i am looking to get a 17 sierra. My question is the color of all the dash lights. I like the blueish white in my truck. Is the sierra same or red? Not just gauges but all the back lighting on knobs buttons etc.

They changed to blue in 2017 sierra from what I was told. Can anyone confirm?

I was confused by this. Could have sworn my neighbors 2014 gmc had red but have seen pics with blue. Hope it is blue.

Well looking here. The radio surround is pictured to be blue. The intellilink icons have changed to.

ironically I think light orange is the best. Not personally but remeber some study or something for hud display colors etc where it is the best spectrum for reading at night. This is why you often see high end euro cars runnung this color. At least that is what I read. Take what you will I kind of like my red.

Sounds like it. Thanks for the responses. This makes me happy.

Dang it man, that would REALLY bother me except I am colorblind hahahaha

[smrr1]

Lol. Its not the most important thing but i have never been a huge fan of red dash lights.

No lie this was actually a large part of why I didn't order a custom 17 (that and the sales). I prefer the red, as they aren't as bright at night and thus are less of a distraction. Plus I just like the red more

This is because red lights don't diminish your natural night vision (or nearly as much) as something like a blue or white light. This is why lights used for map reading and navigation in the military are red. Many police also have an indoor red light on cruisers so you don't have to use white light.

Wow, I much prefer the red. Looks more in keeping with a GMC since the logo is red, and more upscale IMO. It also differentiated the 2 brands.

 

Probably a cost saving measure.
