Down in Timaru, New Zealand, a new LED street light outside a family home had some really bad effects on a resident. His father, an astronomer, did lighting tests over the next two years and made some interesting discoveries about blue light. https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/116865102/effects-of-led-streetlights-on-autistic-son-led-damien-mcnamara-on-dark-sky-campaign

    I assumed the blue lights in dash decision went along the lines of

    Person 1. should we have blue or green lights in the dash?
    P2. i read somewhere that blue led keeps you awake
    P1. so blue then?
    P2. if we don't someone will fall asleep at the wheel and crash then sue us for not going with blue to actively keep the driver awake.
