My 2 cents.

Keep any colors you want, but you have the option to increase your brightness to play in the dark.

From a 1 SMD 5050, 25% Brighter are Twin 2835 in Frosted.
50% or more brighter then a 1 SMD is our Op-Max.
(you can mix all these in the same game)

Add in Sunlight, between warm and white...the perfect white IMO.
or Ice Blue as a second or primary shade of blue.

Of course, one can add light strips, and spotlights.

Even using 2 Headed Flex in GI, can produce creative lighting with one lighting the plastic, and the other pointed where you want on the playfield.

Each choice is a successive "turn of the brightness dial", until Everything is lit, or more Depth of field with lights and shadows Where you want them to be.

Some thoughts here.

If you are using a 1 SMD 5050...the bulbs used in kits, Super, etc, Orange and especially yellow are dimmer, hence the correct suggestions of warm white, pink, orange or even white, under yellow and orange inserts.

If one uses a Twin 2835...whats in TWD, ST, IMVE, AC/DC, these are much brighter and one can color match yellow with yellow, and orange with Orange.
Frosted is highly recommended, and your inserts will POP!

Of note is that yellow, is often tinted towards orange to increase its brightness.
When made yellow/yellow...its never bright enough. Our eyes and the wavelength of yellow
is part of this.
