I guess it should be the same illuminated colour as the dash lights, mine is, sort of orangey red. Will be taking it off this weekend and replacing with a new chrome M tec gear knob and blue gaitor, I wished it was illuminated but the only one you can get is the all leather type. Only non BMW illuminated shifter I can find the the AC schnitzer but its crazily priced.

The last time I looked at my knob with the lights on, it was glowing red.
