Yes, multi color LED light bulbs also use this method.

Yea, I got passlabs gear thats got a big blue meter and a volume number read out thats blue. (Wonder why they can get away with it?).

āBecause they are didnāt name their color after a registered trademark brand name like Mcintosh, blue is blue and colors can not be patented but the name Mcintosh is a trademark name and if used in conduction with a feature or selection that is not part of the brand name Mcintosh in can lead to consumer confusion. Once the name Mcintosh was removed the color certainly can be added back in as a choice and simply called āblue.ā
Possibly not. Suits have been filed by large companies against people for simply using a color without identifying it by the trademark name - simply the use of āa colorā. Most of these suits get thrown out of court, but not all. Itās an interesting study ofā¦ letās call it legal subtlety. Or you could call it something else. 
The problem could be solved in a simple way: change the Vu color setting on the menu, instead of determining a unique color as it is now, implement the color bar as is done in common RGB LED lampsā¦no one will be able to say Nothing

Great idea- a colour wheel is the answer.

If going with a wheel, Iād recommend having the corresponding R,G,B values displayed below the wheel. That way if you want an exact color youāll at least have a way of knowing that.

To be honest, the colour of the meters, even the meters themselves are to me just eye candy. Iād much prefer that Rose focussed on product reliability. Iām hearing too many reports of problems. I have a 150b now out of warranty and every time I turn it on, Iām more than a little anxious as to what might happen.

The fact is, we still have yellow VU that can be associated with Luxman or Accuphase products.
So having blue collor has nothing to do with McIntosh as long the VU meters design are not the same.
If they did copyright them, then some simmiar collor with a different shape can be put there.
The simples way is to have 2 configs: 1. to choose VU design and 2. to choose a color. Or some preset with possibilities to change).
I would rather be focused on sonical improvements rather unecesarry UI features. The mobile app need improvements, etcā¦
