Or just based on the position of the dial (or needle)

In my 991.1 GT3, I have the standard gauges, and that's exactly what I would get again
I guess I'm not the only one that feels this way.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of white gauges, but I really like the black tach in my C2S. Didn't care for the gray in my Caymans. Wish you could spec the black tach. Looks old school, like my old 78SC.

I will glance at the TFT screen on straights to check oil & coolant temp. Otherwise, I couldn't even tell you what color my gauges are.

I have red gauges now. But got my allocation yesterday and ordered white gauges.

I love mine - no problem with tracking (mostly reading the digital on track )

What color are the red gauges at night illumination?

Perhaps someone who currently has red gauges could post a night picture? I had a 997 C2S with red gauges, and they looked black at night under illumination.

I like both the Red and White. Ordered White on my new one.

Ditto with a variation.

The only two screens I look at is oil and water temperature screen and occasionally the tyre pressure screen. I disable all the other screens so I can quickly flick between the two. Rarely ever look at the dials so colour is irrelevant on the track.
