Some use inert gas, for instance. This is the combination of neon and argon/mercury gases. While neon gas glows in reddish-orange colour, argon and mercury lights give off a light blue colour. Some neon light also use fluorescent powders. Such lights use combinations of diverse gases to filter out various colors from the light spectrum.
