Blue lights weren't adopted until after WWII. In a WWII U-boat it was red and white only. The sleeping quarters were always darkened, the engine rooms always white. Only the control room and conning tower had red or white lights.

I'm not sure which one of my U-boat books here is the source on this, but can look through them if anyone really wants to question me.
