Green! My pet hate is different colours on the dash lights, including the radio.
You may be able to remove the old filter and replace with green.
They do look good though.

Not at all! Back in the day it was easy to pick up a radio that illuminated green now they are rare as! I have 3 Radio CD players, 1 for each car and a spare, all are green illuminated.

There are plenty of head units out there with changeable-colour displays, so you can set it to match the rest of the lighting. Usually two or three different shades of green, so you can pick the closest match.
