Default Gauge needle colors

Just wanted some opinions on what color needles look good with white face gauges. SO far I am trying flourescent orange, bright red and flourescent green with flour orange tips. I havent been able to find regular orange model paint yet...only been to Wal-mart.
Since the car is green I thought the green needles would look cool, but I can't decide which color I like the best:

I like the gauge needles painted like the autometer gauge needles, but I think they need to light up at night as well.
Here's a picture of the different needles so far:


Here's what the dash looked like before:

The dash is now black, waiting to be reinstalled, the a/f ratio gauges was replaced with a fuel level gauge, and the radio is now an Alpine.
