Kevin,

it really depends on how much of each hue is represented - in addition
to my 40 300 series modules that are of various blues, then there is
PG's Blue Milton (a different blue from either the 300 or the 1200),
the Wiard dual Joystick controller and 36 panel/inches of 1200 series
and PSIMs modules (all .fpd blues).  The most recent .fpd blue modules
have been 300 Series "Stooge" panels, converting my Boogie
lopass/hipass 1200 series pair and a pair of Borg2 filters to 300
Series format.  These panels are remarkably close to the original
blue!  Every one of my .fpd panels are not the exact same blue, either....

As a design detail, I think that the gargoyle patterns on each of the
modules really create a unifying factor - it would be much more clashy
if the modules were simple blue panels with only knob and jack lables.

The bottom line is when people visit my studio, everyone comments on
how beautiful the Wiard is - amidst the sea of typical recording
studio wretch, a sea of blue is most pleasing to the eye! 8o)
