From a business view, I'd go for the least common denominator. Make your modules
compatible to existing systems as much as possible. And that includes making it not only
electrically, but also VISUALLY compatible.

Nobody's going to buy your modules because of piss-yellow panels and names like Anal
Probe. They're going to by it because you make great products. However, I can see some
potential customers being turned off with loud obnoxious colored panels in their Euro
systems. That negative could very well affect buying decisions.

On the other hand I really don't see people NOT buying you modules because it matches
the rest of their system. So there's really no business advantage to marginalizing your Euro
products by painting them yellow.
