It's blue, but not a dark blue. I like them. I put in Blue LEDs in mine, although I'm having issues with them going in and out....

Im redoing my bulbs tomorrow- I have two that keep going in and out... its the contacts that touch on the side. At least on mine it is. Ill wrap the ends with some other wire and then cram it in.

i took the thing completely apart the face too and used goo gone to get the sticky crap off, then used a knife to scrape the blue off,
its a bit of a pita but worth it.
