I have the late June 'first production' batch i86, no idea if they would've changed leds between mine and the newerish one Darkcookie got. It's blueish to me, but I am fairly biased towards wanting a really red light at night - I've been using f.lux on all my machines and my phone for years though so my eyes are used to screens being a fairly warm hue at night.

This said, I have found the i86 backlight as-is useful for daytime scenarios like reading on a bus / cloudier days. That's partly why I haven't felt too motivated to tear it apart for the kapton tape hack.
