They should sell it as an option. I think many of us will happily spend $15. Easy earned money for the manufacturers.

That sounds like the same issue with rigol. The hardware was designed good, but those that designed the UI for it were not so much motivated...

The Hameg HMO series has a green colour on channel 4.

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

You can give a channel a name, but not change its color. I guess they have never reard about 'color blindness'

Some R&S scopes, like the MXO4, lets you choose each channel color and it can be any custom color (i.e., not from a fixed menu with a handful of choices).  It not only changes the trace color, but also the LED backlight color of the vertical buttons and knobs for the channel that is selected.

But there's a minor downside: The probes *do* have a color ring, and unless you remember, or physically mark the channel colors, you can't plug the probes into the right channel when the scope is off.

The MXO5 adds RGB LEDs right next to the BNC jacks so that they actually match, too.

What’s a bit annoying on the MXO4 (which they could easily fix in software) is that the colors of the RGB LEDs aren’t calibrated to match the display.

Edit: in fact, this even visible on their own photos of the MXO5. Look at channels 7 and 8: plainly different on-screen, nearly identical on the LEDs. And channel 3 is deep orange-red on-screen, and basically peach colored on the LEDs.

ALL of the top manufacturers do: Keysight, LeCroy, Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz. They all use yellow for Ch1, and then pink/red, light blue, and green for the remaining channels, in varying order. So do most of the low-cost ones. Rigol is fairly unique in not using green.

On 8-channel scopes, it’s common to have two different shades of green, one slightly yellowish and one slightly bluish.

Why not white traces?
