I've built an mp3 player for my car, running Linux and using a 4x40 LCD screen for display. You can see it at:

The problem is that the LCD is the normal greenish color, and since the interior lighting (console, etc) in my car is blue, I'd like to get an LCD with a blue backlight. The problem with THAT is, the only place I've found such an LCD in the 40x4 character size is www.electronic-assembly.de, and to buy one from them and have it shipped to the US would cost me about US$125. I don't really want to spend that much since my green one only cost me $35 from www.mpja.com.
Does anyone know of a US company from which I could buy a 4x40 blue LCD? (Hopefully) at a price comparable to a green one? www.crystalfontz.com has 4x40 displays, and the page says "available in several variations of backlight...." but I wrote to them, and they only have green.
Thanks.
