If you were given the choice of blue or orange leds to be put into a system that is painted white, which color do you guys think would look better/cooler?

I cant decide, but I'm leaning towards blue.

My favorite color is Orange but the contrast with White/Blue is a lot cooler, so I would tend to say Blue to.

Yeah, blue all the way. Is the unit off/bone white or is it normal white?

Blue if it is all white, but I think orange would be better if it has gray accents (like the 360).

Blue it is then! Thanks guys!

Its normal white.

I'd also have to say blue. (I'm sure there's some pictures of mine)

However, everyone else does blue, and white is a neutral colour, everything goes with it. I say go orange.

I'd go for orange. I'm freaking tired of all the blue LEDs that are all the rage these days.

After some more testing, blue blends into the clear purple plastic (the part i didnt paint) more than the orange does.

I have another idea that I will use orange leds for.

You never mentioned anything about any purple parts. :p
I think you should go for purple LEDs. They do exist.

Purple leds are the hotness! But you could put both blue and orange leds in it! That would look really cool.

Purple and Orange is a nicer combo

Sorry I forgot to mention that

Unfortunately I do not have any purple LEDs.

Im not going to put both blue and orange in it beacause I want a uniform led color, including the power LED. And I am somewhat tight on space.

Well, I would like to use orange/green LEDs on my portable. Blue might just blind me and prevent gameplay.

Thats the thing bacteria, I couldn't decide. So I asked them for their opinion. I never asked for them to decide for me.
