Post by: mogo on Fri, 26 September 2014, 22:01:52: My advice is to clash with whatever the base color of your keyboard is (most likely black). I think green backlighting on green keys might look pretty killer. Green LEDs tend to be pretty bright, I think it'll work.

"A word of advice, the white keycaps have a significant amount of bleeding, and even more so if you have them on a keyboard with LEDs on the bottom. Had I known this, I would've gone ahead and went with the black ones, which don't appear to bleed at all."
