Spreader Light Question

Although I know that almost everyone's spreader lights are the "white" lights that are most common, is anyone of the mind that there might be some validity to consider RED lenses for them???
It seems to me that when you most need the spreader lights on, it is obviously dark,and you are underway, destroying night vision with white light does not seem like a good idea............I would like to find other opinions regarding this....
