When the sub's go to "red light" in battle conditions, green displays with red ambient light has been shown to cause additional stress on the nervous system. It's true!

In all my time riding boats - I was seasick once... Pulling out of Hong Kong - long maneuvering watch on the surface - rough seas - rig for red - and - running the BPS-15 radar... Watching the display go round and round and round... Arrgh...

Red light and green screens didn't sit well with me...
In Sonar we usually had the shack rigged for blue - unless the OOD was entering - we would switch back to red... The blue light was mellow - but - seemed to make you sleepy...
Not really sure if I like these orange displays - or - not... Haven't seen them in real life... In DW - they seem a bit glaring...
