But we will see a green navigation light on the right wing won't we ?

Or will they make it blue ?


It's*only the yellow filter on the window that makes it appear green...


I note that railway practice includes putting a blue(ish) filter in
front of a yellow(ish) light to make a green signal, but in general a
properly yellow filter in front of a properly blue light would appear
dark.


There's always someone who has to bring reality into the discussion :-)

I was actually (deliberately) confusing additive and subtractive colour
mixing. I hadn't realise there was a proper railway connection.
