Default Footwell lighting. What color?!

I want to add some foot well lighting to my XK8 but I've not been happy with the color choices out there. The blue led strips are too blue, green too green and white too bright. Even tried to use the blue and green together to try to match the dials but, no. My only other option is Amber. We do have the small Amber down lights in the overhead light fixture but it's so subtle I'm not sure it's enough.
Any ideas? I've yet to find the blue green out there.

A black light sure would light up the leaper on the floor mat.

I just checked that kit out and it's pretty complete, including the remote control. I think i'm going to order one. The price is great!

Phil,

Why not change the panel lights at the same time? Then they would match.

I have red lighting all thru,I changed the standard bulbs to red led and also strips along the door sill each side, looks nice and cozy just beware not to fall asleep driving at night lol,I will upload some night photos at the weekend if not before depending on the wether,not much room to open the doors in my garage and I don't like my baby out in this freezing cold.

I actually liked red. Kind of ominous.
