actually I'd go for purple, it's what military pilots get issued and it doesn't wash out the sectionals, I've tried one, actually kinda cool, kinda makes things glow almost black light like.
Green is what mil pilots of tactical aircraft get now since it's NVG compatible. Cockpit backlighting as well as floodlighting is now green for the same reason. Best color for marking up imagery/charts? Pink. It stands out the best under this type of light.
I always carried a large 2-D cell white lens maglight. I also carried a small 2-AA cell white lens mini-maglight for map reading. The larger one was for preflighting in the dark, as well as in case of an emergency should I lose all electrical power. The large D cell could illuminate the entire panel if needed.
