Default Spod switch lights - What color most closely matches the 2013 dash lights?

I'm about to order an Spod and trying to figure out what color switch lights most closely resemble the dash lighting in the 2013 Jk's. Green, blue? Previously the blue seemed to go best with the dash lights on my 2010 but I also want to order an Aeroforce gauge and need to choose the color for that as well.

Yes, I know, I am too anal.

TIA

I bought green, and it's pretty dang close. I'm switching to the laser etched green later on as well.

I probably will do that as well, but also getting an Aeroforce, gotta choose right the first time with that one.

I think the green is a dead match for the little light on the auto-dimming mirror, but the instrument cluster seems more halfway between green & blue.

Well, good enough for me, especially since the Spod with the green lights is sitting in the garage waiting for the '13 Rubi to arrive, any damn day now. And yes, I am getting impatient!!!

Trunk monkey is referred to the guy in the trunk with usually an assault rifle of some sort, usually seen in things like presidential motorcade.

And also the recently popular advertisement from Suburban Auto Group. Youtube it...it's a little skit with a monkey in the trunk that hops out to club a bad guy trying to break into the car. Pretty cute.
