You all might remember people putting red, blue, or green cellophane or thin
plastic sheet over the screen to give it color! Does anyone do that any
more? The color on the OII is wonderful! OTOH, to some it might seem like
putting playing cards on the spokes of your bicycle when you were a kid...it
didn't make you go any faster, but the loud sound sure gave you a rush! Yes,
I was one of those kids! :-)

I'd also be wary of relying on digital photographs of radios on the web
since you don't know what color balance was set on the camera, and what the
actual ambient lighting is. Many digicams leave much to be desired when set
to "auto" color balance. Some types of flourescent ambient lighting can
easily cause a nice green tint in an uncorrected digital photo.
I've had three 565 Orions through my shack, and they've all been black and
white. Certainly not green. Maybe a really slight blue tint at some
contrast settings, but basically B&W.
