Blue on blue has more importance than you think. It's the only time in Star Wars History that two Jedis battled with the same coloured lightsabres. It is because it's the only time in history that an apprentice challenged his teacher. The apprentice is meant to carry the same coloured blade as his teacher. We already know from A New Hope and Anakin used a blue lightsabre.
Not all Sith use a red blade, but it is traditional. Red uses more energy, burns hotter, drains the power supply faster, burns bright and fades away. Good Jedis have used red, but it is frowned upon. Not only is it a reminder of the Sith, but such an expendature of energy is considered wasteful. So a cooler more balanced hue is favoured. Electrum, or the famed purple blade, like that used by Mace Windu, is exceptionally dangerous because of the damaging electromagnetic fields that it generates. Had Luke used electrum to make a nice purple lightsabre, he would have trashed Lord Vader. All of his machinery would have been a liability rather than an asset.
Sith also use black lightsabres. It's like a hole cut into inky darkness. The technology used to make these feared blades has been lost forever. The Jedi council destroyed the Sith holocube that contained the information to make these. These black blades could slice through other lightsabres. I guess they worked a bit like a black hole stretched into a blade.
Help me... For I am geeky.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
