This source (don't know if this is the right source) has every description of these diode lights - for you guys who will be making your own.
There are leds that replace incandescent bulbs in regular cabin fixtures.
Regular white leds are too stark for my taste. They are great for anchor lights. I guess the whiter white helps in identifying floaters from shore lights.
Warm whites are appearing for interior use and they also can be found in shades like sunny white, golden white. The 25w incandescent look.
Leds also come in plugin ropes that might be cool under shelves in the cabin.
Orca Marine's masthead tricolor with strobe and smart anchor light has dropped to $365. Think I'll wait till the spring boat show.

If I decide to go with a tricolor would I also put in side and stern lights?
Having them on while motoring at night makes the boat legal. Right?
