Favorite interior lighting colors?

Just wondering what everyone’s favorites are?
I’m using orange now to match the door buttons. I’ve been leaving the bowers lights off.

Curious why they don't have red as an option. Mine depends on what color my kids want.

I use orange and white. The orange is the closest to the orange-red instrument lights of the old school BMW’s.

Using blue or purple. MBB on Full Silverstone. It is quite striking.

Its hard for me to choose other colors that dont match up with the gauges and other fixed color items. Orange for me too with Smoke White interior and redish/orange stitching to boot.

Orange would look best with my Ext/int colors, but I feel like BMW has had ambient orange lights for 20 years...so in the spirit of being current-
Silverstone with
1 purple
2 blue
3 orange

How about just rotate through all the colors so you don't overuse one of them. Besides changing them from time to time gives the feeling of a whole new car. Ambiance will shift as you change the colors.

I like blue. But also like the orange to match the dash lights.

I can't figure out why the hell they made an orange AND a bronze option... They're damn near the same! Why not something a little more differentiated??
