Abstract:
The present invention provides a cooktop appliance with features for correcting the color of light passing through the cooking surface such that the light appears a desired color to a user of the cooktop appliance. More specifically, a colored or fluorescent ink may be applied to, or a colored or fluorescent dye incorporated into, one or more light guides of a user interface assembly such that reflecting off of the interior surface of the light guides and passing through the cooking surface appears a desired color to the user.
