I’m adding deck lighting to my boat in the spring but need recommendations for color. I see kits that allow multiple color lights also.. Any help with what works good for you will help guide me in my decision

Amber led. Light won't blind you and provides enough light for about any in boat functions.

I was looking at these, you can pick colors in each area they are mounted

Location: On my favorite lake!
I have Bluewater leds and I got Blue for in the boat and white for compartments. Very easy to install yourself. I also put a white strip under my console so I tie things or read a map easier.

I like red for color and blue water brand seems alright to me, I stuck some on the trailer and they are completely submerged hundreds of times still work just fine

Check out superbrightleds.com. You can buy rolls of waterproof rated led lights with 3M sticker backing. I did both undersides of my gunwale, entire length of the boat wired to a waterproof rocker switch I purchased on there. It's a lot more lighting than some of the kits sold to fisherman but for less money. I went with UV blacklight which looks cool but holy #*#* does it attract the bugs. If I did it again I'd go with red for that very reason alone.
