Maybe weapon color is as frivolous as in an MMO. There's just a purchasable color item you apply to your sword or blaster to make it glow blue, green, purple, or that violent shade of magenta that makes people wince. In Star Wars, plasma or laser color presumably has no relevance to temperature or frequency, so you're free to pick any color you like. I can see it having more to do with faction than with function.
