Yes absolutely, this was not an issue when it was just me and some friends using it.

Threw together a couple PNG files. They look good against a 50% gray background. Perhaps a lighter gray for light_on, a darker gray light_off. Not as hard on the eyes.

I much prefer the original eye-watering version. The friendly colors stray from the spirit of an annoying prank.
