I thought this was the reason why all astronomers have red cellaphane around their torches and why all darkrooms are lit with a red light?
I guess red is one of the dimmest colours for astronomers to be able to read their charts without affecting too much of their pupil dilation. Besides, they usually spend more time watching the stars rather than the charts. Any astronomers wants to chime in here?
I can recall during my darkroom days, we used dim amber light. Even the dimmest red light is not safe for some photographic materials which is just as well, as working in a red lit darkroom would be terribly tiring for the eyes.

Nice mods Raymo. I like the look of the AWD gauges but I'm not a fan of the colours he uses in most of them. I honestly love the original dials...I think they are very tough looking. Sad not to many people think the same way. Your car is looking great though...keep us updated on any future modifications

BTW - is the instrument surround real alloy or the imitation stuff.
Thanks for your kind words guys
Hey Gaz, the instrument surround is 3mm thick (I think) alumunium...
