We used to have a hardware engineer who had some odd ideas regards colours. He 
once spent ages trying to convince me that RED=RUN was sane and sensible. He now

We don't tend to let marketing do product specifications. They once sent one in 
and asked for top-level consideration. Here is an extract: "Product will have a 
modern and appealing user interface incorporating at least two blue LEDs"  Now 
you see why we don't let them do specs!!!
