Ugh. . . who color coordinates inserts. . . The only color that needs coordinating is red, it washes out. Please put green under teals. . it looks great! 
Warm under warms, cool under cools . . that is it.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Actually, I have found after maybe 200 games, it depends....anything Stern, I agree for almost all.
Take the blues in TSPP, I prefer ice blue, but warm white looks not so good.
Williams not so.
Just an example RS or TZ, inserts that are all yellow, or orange, some of the plastics varied in thickness, color, and plastic degradation.
RS bonus lights, I needed a different bulb under each one to match.
Lastly, to get yellow inserts richer, a 2 smd frosted, works better, especially if the insert plastic is aged, crazed, or thin.
But overall, I'll agree, I'm just anal.
Ill give you that. My bark was more in the spirit of the rainbow puke. People putting those deep indigo blues in games to where you can't even see what the hell the insert says. Cavalierly throwing "similar colors" under inserts because they sort of match. The ice blues are a nice way to give faded blue inserts their color back. (Time machine's fifties inserts, Cyclone's multipliers, F14's chevrons). I try to keep the game true to form so when the one sees the game it looks just a little brighter and livelier than incandescents but still keeps artists true intent. Honestly the only bulb I use is the frosted 1 smd 5050 in everything and can proudly tell you that thousands of your comets are in me and my friends games. The only time I have to put a colored bulb in an insert is red, warm and cool whites just make the red inserts look worse than an incandescent. I get the anal-ness I have a rainbow of colored sharpies to get the color temperature a little more consistent on the warms and use purple markers on warm domes to get them to bring the purple back on silver sluggers inserts.
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:I don't think I've ever used a blue bulb in an insert... rarely in GI.
I know others can see the ball in a colored GI,
They hurt my tired old eyes.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude in my reply,
I appreciate the support for Comet, as well.
You weren't rude in the slightest. It didnt come across that way either. Hell if i had your stock of bulbs im sure I would have a blast trying all of them out. Your ice blue is one of best led colors. I actually had to put them in the clear inserts of my LW3. They look that good!

Quoted from BillySastard:Another overused Pinside term. Everyone thinks their LED job is tastefully done.
Mine are, thank you!

Quoted from TheLaw:Agreed. And we're trying to explain to them the color puking is like dressing their beautiful baby up like a filthy whore and posting pictures of them online.
OMG I'm dying over here!
