You know, I always wondered what the meaning behind lightsaber colors were.How does a Jedi decide between blue, green, or purple? Or do they just take what's available?I read that Samuel L. told George that he'd only play Mace if he was allowed to use a purple lightsaber, so there's that.QuoteThis functions as simple color coding to tell the good guys apart from the bad guys, much like the lasers from Imperial ships are green while the lasers from Rebellion ships are red.In Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker constructs a new lightsaber. This was also meant to be blue, and appears as such in early trailers and posters for the film. However, it was changed to green to create a better color contrast during the scenes on Tatooine. This purely functional change both set Luke's lightsaber apart from the one he inherited from his father and opened the door for new lightsaber colors in the future.makes sensei wonder if there's a story justification for them, though

Jedi choose different focusing crystals depending on their attunement to the force.The color is a by-product.

Blue for a Jedi Guardian, Green for a Jedi Consular, Yellow for a Jedi Sentinal.This is a practice that they stopped using, and now the colour is purely based on preference.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightsaber_crystalSith sabers are red - orange because of their dark affiliation, though.

Favorite lightsaber color?
