You guys are awesome! Thanks for all the help!

I have a thread in here where I used RGB lighting to illuminate the coin door reject button with a yellow happ reject button, and I got good results with the color. It wasn't perfect, but the yellow tint only really affected some of the colors. I can see how a green, red, or blue button would not react well to RGB, but the yellow one is not too bad. Of course I had a very bright LED setup too, which might make a huge difference.

They all look like crap until you see the same color shining through the plastic.

This worried me. So i hooked up a color changing led strip to the coin. I uploaded some videos on youtube with the results. I used flashing to cycle the colors. If you want to see a particular color just pause the video. The inserts i have are yellow. Still look pretty good though :D

Similar results, and not all that bad. I was even able to get a pretty good "white" despite the yellow tint.
