I was reading another thread and someone mentioned "crappy" color configurations that create the dreaded purple blur, specifically citing b/r/w/b/r/w/b/r. I realize that choosing the right flash pattern can make a huge difference, and that multi-color bars with flood features are a game changer. However, in regards to a big project I am working on I would be interested in User preferences and opinions - what works and doesnt work regarding color placement.

For example:

1) r/r/w/r/b/w/b/b vs 2) r/r/r/w/w/b/b/b

#1 is popular is my area; regarding #2, I personally feel the takedown lights don't adequately disperse enough light on a vehicle stop, nor does it provide as much Code3 visibility as #1.

I would also be interested in "amber to the rear" preferences: r/r/a/r/b/a/b/b as well as "DS blue/PS red" configuration preferences.

Discuss while I microwave some popcorn...
