If you try to put blue LEDs behind an orange filter they won't show as orange - you won't get any light through!

No, the orange filter will block the blue wavelength. You won't get any illumination at all.

Well, if so it can only be because the passband of the filter overlaps the bandwidth of the LEDs a bit but it will still attenuate the light a lot.

"Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you've done it" :lol:

Sorry, no I don't. I just know a bit about optics. Hopefully one of the forum experts will be along shortly to help you out.

When you say 'clear glass' do you mean it's not coloured?

Ok, well in that case LEDs behind where it's clear should show through blue but if there are any orange areas with LEDs behind them they'll get blocked or dimmed.
