It depends on whether you want to match the head units display with your climate control panel ( orange ) or your dash dials which would be white if a mk1 or blue if a mk2

That's annoying I had just thought about matching the climate control.
Now you are making me think.

Match the climate IMHO. My pioneer matches very well and doesn't look out of place at all. I'll post a pic when I get home.

Oops!!
Sorry

My double din is orange to match my climate control like Tom's is.
I do however convert quite a few double dins over to blue backlighting for peeps.
I haven't yet been asked to do a white one and I'm guessing it would look a bit odd!
I'll post you some pictures of blue and orange ones to give you an idea as to which colour scheme to go for

My Hi line screen used to be grey. I bought a replacement Hi line as I broke a retaining clip and the new screen colour is blue!

Here's a white one I did a while back... id doesn't look as grey in real life though, it looks quite good.
