I think colored lights would be a great addition to the game and would also add to the ever growing redstone creation department. The block would look similar to a colored fur block and a glass block mixed. These would require a power source to operate and without the power would look like a redstone torch receiving power (so not illuminated) inside a glass block. It would only illuminate a small area, perhaps slightly larger than a redstone torch. The crafting recipe would be a redstone torch on the bottom and a glass block in the middle (colored glass blocks for different colors)
Colored glass would simply be glass with dye added to them simply for looks. Perhaps they could also change light that passes through them (?)
I also understand that different colored blocks may be too complicated for minecraft (for lack of a better term) so they could just glow with that color but still give off white light. They would be a full block which is especially important so that people can make cool creations such as Animations, better pixel displays, Rave/strobe lights, etc.
