Quoted from FatPanda:Color matched inserts are acceptable
Yes they are. And once you color match the inserts you will not go back to putting a white/warm led behind them.

Quoted from Rarehero:Here's mine, although the camera blows everything out. Zero need to color match inserts - the natural colors work great. Cools under the whites, warms under orange, yellow, red. I did use greens under the white "Drive" inserts to change them to green. I used cools in the GI. I used cool 4-LEDs behind the backglasses. They bring out the colors so beautifully.
There may be "zero need to color match the inserts", but once you do it , you usually will be blown away.
It just makes every insert "pop" and look 10x better.
Quoted from Rarehero:I disagree. Red under red still looks red. I've actually done it on a game or two - it wasn't really worth it. Actually -some games have inserts that look all red- but once you put white LED under them, sometimes you see that some are red, some are amber...there are slight color variations that weren't totally clear with incandescent light - but white light brings it out. I generally don't like when people put blue under blue or green under green, as it then changes the insert color to the LED color. Dark blue instead of "sky blue"...or "forest green" vs. "emerald" green. If there's art over an insert, the color LED can wash that out as well.
Don't know what to tell you. I feel exactly opposite. Warm whites change the color. Natural whites wash out the inserts and change the color. Color matched make them look great. I could see it changing the color if it is a radically different shade of color. But all the games I have done had inserts that almost perfectly matched the led color. And I always check my inserts with a white led flashlight to make sure of the color before I buy the leds.
Guess that's why they make so many different led's. Because there's so many different opinions.
