Yes. They are pretty good in my opinion. See my review of
this very backlight foil in the hardware section of the
site in the signature. If you mention you found them through this
page, they'll even grant you a small discount. They are
very friendly and responsive, and they even offer
a backlight swap.

PS If you plan to also have a SER001 put in along with a
new backlight, it might be more sense if I did this swap
since they don't offer SER001 installation.

As for the colors, I would strongly recommend to use a
green one. I have one of these white backlights from a
Newton I fixed, and this thing is so bloody dim that you
won't even notice it is active during normal daylight.
