Noticed something cool on the E320

I have the standard E320 climate control system (not a digital four zone) and I noticed something kind of cool today. The marker of the dial that points to the temperature actually changes color. Set it to max cold and it turns blue, set it to max hot and it turns red, in between is an inbetween color. Anyway, I thought it was neat and thought I would share with any of you who haven't noticed this yet...

Noticed that on mine too. Would be really neat if it would show white at the temp it thinks it is, and change color based on degree of change you dial in.
