Did they intentionally match the color of those instruments to the color of dusk?

I’d say it’s likely, your eyes don’t need to adjust as much to red hues so you can see things better in the dark.

Same reason that L-shaped army flashlight has a red lens you can affix to it. You can read documents or look at a map with red light then still have your eyes’ night vision when you turn the light off.

Sightings of space phenomena like showering stars disallow non-red lights for that reason too. The night sky is slow to open.
