mtelsey1,
The Touch of Color design is a subtle addition to the bezel, and doesn't actually light up. The idea was to move away from the solid black bezels and try something different with a "quiet" enhancement to the cosmetic style of the bezel.
I hope that helps.

I just received my new ln52a650 today, and love the picture so far. I haven't had time to fiddle w/ everything yet, but so far so good. One question.. and I apologize if this was covered somewhere else, but I can't find it... I do not know how to turn on the toc light that surrounds the panel. I can not find it in the manual even though the delivery guy said it would be there. No designated button on the remote. Not sure if I want it on all the time, but would like to check it out... HELP!
