I guess that battling with the same coloured lightsabers does reinforce the idea of how truly gutwrenching it must have been for Obi Wan to fight his apprentice. He was like a brother to him. Point taken.
I'm sitting here staring at my LEGO Darth Vader and really wishing that they had shown Vader with a red lightsaber in Ep 3. I don't mean to beat this to death. It was a minor annoyance for me, but Vader is not Vader without his red saber.
I have no idea where you are getting the properties of the lightsaber colours from. As far as I can tell it has always just been a personal preference for the wielder.

Also, I don't think this is correct. According to sources like KOTOR and the novelizations, Jedis regularly challenged their masters when they fell to the dark side.
