the natural colour of the combination of liquid crystal and polariser.
It's not the narrowband green that you would get with a green LED.
Especially if you add in the fact that white "LED"s are really narrow
band blue LEDs
I has a Ten Tec amp that was like that with RGB LEDs

If you can replace the backlight LEDs with RGB LEDs, you might
be able to have any color you wanted depending on the current

When I turn the backlight off on my K3, the color shifts from
amber to something gray-green.

Tom,
The LCD display on the K2 has "been what it was" from the beginning
(even for Field Test units).
The backlighting is white (LEDs, not incandescent), but the color of the
actual display is green when backlighted. Actual
or just leave it as is.
I figured it was worth a shot.

K2 #1239 is green at night when the internal light is on, more gray than
green in daylight. But it definitely is not amber.
I suspect that is a function of the LED's that are lighting the screen,
