What is the correct colour to read for the most accurate temp because Im getting like four colours at once. Look here...

green

In the picture I can only see 2 colours. I'd personally read that as about 26.8 I can't actually explain why It just seems that the blue is 'leaving that temperature' and the green means 'is pretty much on it'.

It doesn't really matter though You know your temperature is around 27 (for that's the one that is green and has the most colour) which is accurate enough.

I am not a fan of those stick on thermometers. I notice differences of 2-3degC between my regular thermometer and the stick on type (which I think is too much affected by the air temperature)

Agreed. Stick ons are notoriously inaccurate.

Pick up a $2 glass and suction cup one next time you're at the LFS. Check the reading on several and pick the one in the middle of the temp range.

I ended up buyng a normal glass one for the very same reason. I couldn't tell which temp was correct because so many bars were lit. Turned out, in my case it was the second from the bottom. Now I have the ordinary thermometer I much prefer it and never look at the other one now.

I have both (stick on and glass) but I mostly use the glass one to take any readings becasue the stick on ones aren't that accurate.

Also, aprt from inacurate, i found it anoying and fidly all the time, and i didnt like sticking anything to my tank, so it fell down the slit in between the glass and the stand! DOH!
