Sounds like a great mod idea. We're spoiled by the pure colors of LED lights and forget about the yellow glow that penetrated the red and green filters that covered the white light bulbs or the transparent paint the covered "colored" light bulbs.

I used to run into problems with impure light with my amateur astronomy hobby. We'd test lights by taking a Sky and Telescope magazine cover. The logo is white letters spelling Sky & Telescope surrounded by a red background field.

If you're in the dark and illuminate it with your "red" light and can still read the lettering your light fails. If you really have a red light, the white letters are illuminated red and the background is already red. You see nothing but a red rectangle.
