Help me decide...
crashwg:
I'm looking for a good color combination for this settup:
Mini Galaga, probably red balltop, 6 or 7 buttons (haven't decided yet) I may remove the thumb button. It will have the galaga cpo, but obviously altered to fit my needs. What colors should I make the buttons on the cp? I tried a few combinations in paint and noticed that all red is a little overwhelming and some red some black looks like checkers... I'm at a loss.

Its hard to say without seeing the CPO, but heres the usual two options I've seen.
A is standard Neogeo Colours
B is based on standard Neogeo

You think you are going to get 2 players simultaneous on a mini? You might squeeze in two thinnish 9 year old girls, but there is no way 2 adults could comfortably play on a mini at once.
And if it only has one joystick (and a vertical monitor, since it is supposed to be a Galaga), then it only needs two buttons, unless you HAVE to play Mouse Trap, in that case it needs 4.
So before I pull out my twop stick please don't tell me that you are making a 2 player horizontal cabinet and labeling it "Galaga". Always best to make SURE the name of the game on your cab can be played on it perfectly.

Redbox, how confident are you of that color order - Red, Yellow, Green, Blue.
I know KLOV shows that on one cab, but I have seen E-bay pics showing:
Red-Yellow-Blue-Black
Red-Blue-Yellow-Green
Red-Yellow-Green-Blue
And in Smittdogg's CP packs -
Red-Yellow-Green-Blue
A quick look at arcadeflyers.com shows

(and the other Neo-Geo cabinet shots show the same thing.), so I think I answered my own question!
Odd thing is if you play bstars2 in MAME, in the intro it shows the colors as Red-Blue-Yellow-Green, so I was basing my CP on layout A and this color order.
Weird!!!
So now I need to swap my button colors.

I'm fairly confident, I'm basing it from my memory and also some cabinet picutres I've found, but mostly on this (and other games):
