looks similar to this one, .... noticing a trend to get away from bland monochromatic LCD's...most of the new displays have a lot of color ...

Its much easier to quickly discern color in a very focused, high-workload, and high-speed environment than to actually read data. We've used this in fighter aircraft now for quite awhile. When you see amber or red on the panel you know to pay particular attention to what that item is and what the data is telling you. It quickens your scan rate and ability to focus on whats imoportant versus reading the whole dash. Kind of like what we used to do with analog guages, turning them so when they were "normal" the needle was pretty near vertical. When the needle wasn't you started worrying about it.
Very cool units too.

Only the fovea has the density of cone cells necessary to discriminate color; the rest of the eye is mostly rods. Your brain "remembers" what colors things are and applies that color to things outside your center of vision. If you've never seen something, your brain will apply a color to it until you actually get a look at it.
I've seen this in action, and the look on people's faces when they're sure something green is "red" is priceless.

Cartridge does not make a carbon fiber intake plenum for a factory 993 RSR butterfly valve motor. Notwithstanding, we could but to make a one off first class piece would possibly be prohibitively expensive.

What I also do is create 'virtual' imstruments where you 'line up' the needles and that the deviation of one needle has an intuitive rather than counter intuitive correction.
