What colors of lightsaber are there (and where can I get them)?

Question

Seeing this question How do I get a Magenta Lightsaber Crystal?, I see that there are more lightsaber colors than I thought.

I know there are:

• Red
• Yellow
• Purple
• Green
• Blue
• Yellow + Dark center (preorder)

What else is there?

Answer 1

(Cobbled together from Torhead, the SWTOR forums, dulfy.net, and personal experience; ordered by quality/how you can get them.)

Standard

Green items. Requires low-level artifice to craft (items at level 7 and above); found in standard weapons.

• Red

• Blue

• Green

Prototype

Blue items.

• All the above

• Yellow (low-level artifice)

• Orange (first drops are level 31; artifice-craftable beginning with level 47)

Artifact

Purple items.

• All the above (Orange level 50 schematics drop from the Primal Destroyer world boss on Belsavis)

• Magenta, AKA "Light Red" (must be crafted; not to be confused with Purple)

• Black-Orange (direct from PvP vendor and also drops from Operations; can be RE'd for schematic)

• Black-Purple (direct from PvP vendor and also drops from Operations; can be RE'd for schematic)

PvP

• Cyan, AKA "Light Blue" (PvE versions found in Operations; can be RE'd for schematic and Expertise schematic also drops from Grade 6 PvP crafting boxes)

• Purple (PvE versions found in Operations; can be RE'd for schematic and Expertise schematic also drops from Grade 6 PvP crafting boxes)

• Black-Red (direct from PvP vendor and found in Operations; can be RE'd for schematic)

• Black-Blue (direct from PvP vendor and found in Operations; can be RE'd for schematic)

Special

• Razer Black/Green (for buying a Razer SWTOR peripheral)

• White (world boss drop during beta; sold on the fleets prior to Patch 1.2; now drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Pink-Purple (drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Cyan-Blue (drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Orange-Red (drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Lime-Green (drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Derelict-Purple (drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Black-White (drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Silver-Blue (drops from Cartel Packs and can be sold on the GTN)

• Orange-Yellow (sold individually in the Cartel Market and can be traded)

Discontinued

These are still in the game but can no longer be acquired if you don't have them already:

• Black-Yellow (for pre-ordering the game)

• Black-Green¹ (Rakghoul Outbreak world event rewards. This is a different color than the Razer Black/Green, see this image)

_{¹The Black/Green crystal is Bind on Equip and can still be sold on the GTN if the owner has not used it, so technically you can still get one.}

Unavailable

These are part of the game assets but have not been made generally available:

• Black-Cyan
