Is the center screen amber or white?

I was looking at all the interior pics and it seems some of the cars have an amber LCD panel for the temp/fan info, and others have a white one. See image below where it says 72F. Why do some cars have it white and others as amber?

The LCD backlight switches to Amber automatically at night on mine.

Like greekcs said. It is white when the headlight is off (in the mornings) and turns to amber when the headlight turns on (at night/low light conditions). It’s the same in my F25 X3 too.

I know the orange is a "BMW thing" but I wish it stayed white.

You can always code it to stay one color.

I'm also hoping there is a way to code it.

On my previous F30, even the HUD changed to orange at night.
