Nail polish; why in the hell didn't I think of that instead of ugly black electrical tape? That's an awesome idea, thanks.

Also, a dark yellow nail polish should make those horrid blue leds appear green, which albeit not turning them off would make them much more gentle to the eyes.

Yup! I used some red polish on one blue led, and it made it into a nice dim purple color. Actually it was quite a nice shade.
