It depends on the year of the car. Early cars were red later ones blue. IIRC the change was around 1963.....

The topmost light LOOKS violet, right? But it's an effect of the camera. In real life, these colors were quite different -- the oil light, for instance, was army green, not turquoise.
However, yes, the magnolia speedometer should give a reddish (certainly not blue) light when high beam is on. It's not the same red as the ignition light.
