Oh! That's an interesting point about preferring red numbers. I hadn't thought about that before... Yes, when I use the iphone app on it's clock setting it's too bright... you can turn it down the brightness but it's still not quite right. I'm glad i'm not the only fussy one! I thought blue might be ok... but now that I think about it it wouldn't really look right either. I loathe green... makes me think of aliens... shame, I usually like green.
