4th Generation What color LED should I swap for my gauge cluster needles?

So I installed a set or reverse glows in my '98 Camry XLE (See profile pic)....and as you can probably see I still have the stock green backlit needles. They don't really look that bad, BUT I'm thinking I want to swap the new LED's and just finish the mod the right way. I'm thinking either Red or White, which do you think? If anybody has any pics of either one of these set ups that would be great!

I have same gauges on my Camry. They look[ed] very good. But now they are just randomly turn off on its own. I dont know why. What I'm gonna do is remove these gauges and buy 5 bright white LEDs.

White, blue, or amber. Green is out of date. I wouldn't use red, I would leave the red only for warning lights.

Yes there are stupid manufacturers that use plenty of red for normal functions.
