Cabin lights [and cockpit lights too] in C=130's were red to keep from 
affecting our night vision capabilities on jump nights.  I was under the 
impression that red affected nightvision less than other colors.  We 
were all colorblind [still are :-)], maybe it didn't matter for us.

I can discern the numeric keypad labels on my K3 only with strong light 
from an angle.  They seem to be just a tad shinier than the button body.
