[Hallicrafters] Dial Glass for S-40 or S-76

I'm having a few dial glass windows made that will fit the Hallicrafters S-76 & S-40 + other receivers.  This is the semi-circular window that has the hairline and Band numbers 1,2,3 & 4 screened in reverse.   Rather than make these from plastic, they are made from good quality real gals and should be much more scratch resistant that the original (and less brittle....don't ask me how I know it's brittle )  My question is, what color  to use.  All the S-76's I've seen are screened in yellow as are a couple S-40's, but I also have an S-40 with a red hairline.
I would appreciate any informal comments, Off Line if you please, as to what color the windows in your S-40 or similar receivers are screened.

You can send replies directly to k3ich at arrl dot net.  As soon as I get a number of replies on the proper color, we'll start the production screening process.

By the way, the glass edges are ground down so as to make them much less lethal in handling.  They are a tad thicker than the originals, but seem to fit fine.
