Default Hint of blue needles in instrument cluster

I have an 08. My instrument cluster lights and fuel tank and temp needle are pure white.

My speed and RPM needles have a tint of blue. Is this normal or a sign it is fading. Thanks

Can we get a photo? It's hard to tell by description if its fading or it has been modified.

I noticed this too on mine. They are slightly different color. Not sure if its because a couple of my RPM and speedometer LEDs are dead.

It's like the MENU/NAV/CLIMATE etc.. tier vs the lower Audio controls are a slight different shade of green (or another color if you did the LED mod)
