Star Wars Question

Lightsaber colours?

I know it's unimportant, but I've wondered, why do all Sith had red lightsabers and Jedi have blue, green and purple? Why can't Sith have a different colour or a Jedi have red?

Let me know your thoughts :)

Thanks.

I've red that the color of the lightsaber always represented the skills or traits you had. For example, if you have a blue one, it means you are a warrior. If you have a green one, its means you are wise and strong in the force. If you have a red one, I think that means darkness or something.

I think a Jedi can choose wichtever color he want for his lightsaber by picking his cristal.
A Sith however uses a synthetic crystal for his lightsaber wich is often red due to the methods used in its creation.

Back When force crystals were relatively common in the galaxy the Jedi could find or choose their own colour (and type, in some cases) according to personal preference and tradition regarding traits and skills. Red was avoided as the colour has obvious connections to dark side traits.
Later, when crystals were not as commonly found, the uprising Sith would use red crystals (natural or synthetic) in their lightsabers, if only to mock and intimidate the Jedi in the fight against them.
