WHY, just why...

As for the color rings - we all might have a lot of spare ones, but it reamains a failure of Rigol.

But why is it a fact that one should be green and one cyan? That seems to me more like an opinion.
Also, the screen is not shown in the picture, so I cannot judge the appearance of the traces. Furthermore the traces are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, so you are not relying solely on the colors.
As for the probes, one is light blue, while another is dark blue with a white contrasting pattern. If you were seeing them in black and white, they would be highly contrasting due to the pattern.
Overall, I do not find any difficulty seeing the difference in the four colors, which is why I am asking.
joeqsmith:
I use the rings to keep track of the probes after they are matched (compensated) for each channel. I don't normally leave things setup.
For keeping track of them on the DUT, I only ever have four, so no big deal.
My active probes have an LED that emits the color that matches with the channel they are connected to.

Show me one oscilloscope from the other manufacturers, that has a green color on a channel!

Siglent, pretty much all of them. Also see my post above; it's not without downsides (for some of us).

Micsig, siglent, hantek....
after a quick search, I couldn't find anyone other than Rigol who doesn't use green, for scopes with more than 2 channels.

You are right! I had a quick peek on a picture of the sds814, but that light green looked light a light blue on the first glance! :palm:
