[BC] Clock display color

[Mark Humphrey]

If you could convince CSS to offer these clocks in yellow or amber, I
think that would be the best choice for contrast and visibility.

Lloyd Lane, my business partner at WCJW, is legally blind (retinitus
pigmentosa) and has a hard time seeing red light.   In spite of his
handicap, Lloyd hosts the morning show (in addition to managing the
station) so I'm always interested in products that make his job
easier.   A few years ago while we were visiting the county EOC, he
had no problem reading 4 inch yellow LED wall clocks in the 911 call
center.   However, when I checked the price of that model, it was
several times what I'm used to spending -- but of course, governments
have a big budget for projects like that.

I've been trying to find a 4 inch yellow LED clock for our air studio
at a more reasonable cost (comparable in price to a Radio Systems red
clock), so I welcome any suggestions.  Are large yellow LED displays
really that much more expensive than red or green?
