Similar thoughts to Pete.
Ablaze 1's are too dull in my opinion - unless you had a game with heaps and heaps of white inserts. I generally have used the Ablaze 3's everywhere and am happy with the results. Appreciate that some people may not like them on GI - but i think they are great - i tend to colour match some areas of GI (to the surrounding plastic) as it tends to give more definition to the plastic and a nice glow/light behind stand up targets etc.
Best colours in my expereince to colour match are blue, green and purple - orange is probably worth matching as well. Red makes a bit of difference, but not much, yellow looks much the same with whites or yellows.
For the backbox, its can change from game to game in my opinion - i reckon doing mainly white but then highlight one or two features with blue or green works well.
Flashers are blinding with LEDs - probably not necessary
