For me, lightsaber colors have no meaning at all. It's just that they use diferrent cristals... There were sith who used different lightsaber colors.
Here are some examples:
Exar Kun (blue)
Ulic-quel Droma (yellow-green)
Darth Bane (red, then purple)

And there were Jedi with red lightsabers:
Kyp Durron

And purple:
Kam Solusar

And there were Jedi and Sith who used No lighsaber at all.

For one- The lightsabers have no elemental background whatsoever.

For two- There are only four official lightsaber blade colours, which also have varying shades/tints: blue, purple, red, and green.

For three- There is somewhat of a story behind Windu's purple saber. Sam Jackson actually requested that Lucas give him a purple blade, and Lucas accepted. The purple blade along with the gold-coloured materials [which I forget the name of] on Mace Windu's lightsaber handle show his high position of Council Leader in the Jedi Council.

Yes, I said it. Mace is lead councilman- Yoda is only the senior member who helps contribute to Mace's decisions.

I believe Plo Koon also had a yellow lightsaber in the "Obi-Wan" video game. The bummer thing about all this is despite whats in the games and EU lucas only recognizes blue,green,red and purple as the "official" lightsaber colors.

Yoda and Mace and the two ranking officials they are equals on the jedi council. All other jedi answer to yoda and mace.

------------------------------------------------------

I have read before that Windu was the head member of the council. Yoda was only a senior member, as Mace was, but Mace actually was the frontman for the council as a whole. Yoda was tasked more with training than he was with leading, despite the fact that he was also a leader for the Jedi.

-----------------------------------------------------

Again- EU... The EU is just stories other people thought up, the OFFICIAL info is in the movies. And the OFFICIAL saber colours were blue and green for the Jedi, purple for Mace, and red for the Sith/Dark Jedi.

With regard to the "Star Wars" explaination of Lightsaber colors, Wikipedia has a wealth of info an all things SW.

"Blue-bladed lightsabers are often associated with Jedi Guardians; green-bladed lightsabers are usually associated with Jedi Consulars; yellow-bladed lightsabers are associated with Jedi Sentinels; lavender-bladed lightsabers are associated with Jedi Healers; and red-bladed lightsabers are more closely associated with the Sith."

But yes, the poster who said Sam Jackson asked for a purple lightsaber was right. He said as much on Jay Leno. The best of both worlds I guess.

Here's the way I interpret it....

Blue-Padawan
Green-Jedi Knight
Purple-Mace decided to be different

I would like to turn this into an official SWC discussion thread for lightsabers, as the number of lightsaber related threads in SWC has exploded lately.
