Voyager color scheme

I'm bringing this up, because a few people I've talked to noticed this. Just wondering what others think:

Red white & blue switches
Green backlit LED
black/silver knobs
wood (of various hue)

A number of people including myself are in agreeement that together these colors simply just DON'T work ...

More stories:

He told us how the fellow in ...

Moog Living Legacy
