Instrument Cluster and Centre Console Backlighting
Hi,
What is the colour of the backlighting to the buttons, etc on the centre console and the instrument cluster. It seems that the backlighting to the instrument cluster is blue, but the radio and climate control has orange! What about the buttons on the COMAND and heated seats, etc? What colour are those? If they are orange, don't they look odd with blue backlighting in the instrument cluster? I've looked for pictures, but can't find any...
Thx

You are correct - all the buttons of the radio, climate control, command, heated seats etc.. are Orange while the instrument cluster is a cool blue.
I never thought about it much until a few people here mentioned the non-matching colors. Personally, I think the scheme looks good at night - although, given the option, I would probably go for a more uniform color scheme.

Thx for the reply. I must admit, it does sound odd but glad to know that you like it, therefore it can't be that bad!! 
I'm sort of assuming that at some point the CLK will probably get the new C-Class interior and that it will all be a uniform colour. I will be getting my CLK in just over 4 weeks (been waiting 5 months!) but never even thought to look at the illumination. Just never thought it would be anything but uniform I guess...
