Default Backlighting Different colors?

Hi all– – I have a 2011 accord coupe. The strip of climate controls looks like it’s back lit off-white and kind of tinted green, while the rest of the controls to include the radio and the dash are backlit white. Is this normal? Thanks!

You've had several quesitons about colors of lights, because you are assuming an "incorrect" color of lights means that something is broken. On most cars, the light is only broken when it worn't turn on. The bulb itself turns on and is white. The color is either from a thin rubber cover over the bulb or the window on the switch you see is colored. Your bulbs are working, and the intentionally change the color is a massive pain that very few people would attempt. I'll assume the colors are by design.

Since not a lot of follks post on here anymore, it will be best for you to write down items like bulb colors, etc in a few months, then stop by a dealership and check out a 2011 accord to verify. You can also search for youtube videos to watch to see if you can catch the colors.
