Related, the color of your dash matters, the modern backlit screens (both dash and entertainment) emit much white and blue light.

Mazda and Bmw (traditionally, less the last 5 years) seem to consider human ux more than others - hence orange lighting. Modern ambient (orange or green) can be nice.

You can usually turn the infotainment screen off completely at night. However, for some manufacturers, this means the screen displays black, but is still powered, ie. the backlight is on, which can be annoing.

There is a big difference between "can turn off" and "doesn't emit white or blue light in the cabin at night by default" when it comes to infotainment.

Maybe the oleds will allow manufacturers become more conscious of this in the future, but as far as I can see, BMW, Ford (Cadillac), Mb group, and Kia Hyundai, Honda are not consciously limiting their lighting colors.
