How Do You Make Neon Sign Colors?
Neon gas is the first primary inert gas used to produce neon sign colors and results in red colors when electricity is applied. Argon the second primary inert gas used to make neon sign colors and produces blue colors when electricity is applied. Many neon sign colors are obtained by using colored glass tubing, along with special mixture of neon and argon gases. Sometimes Xenon and Krypton are used to produce special effects in the neon sign colors. Add 100-percent neon gas to a neon light to create the color red when activated with electricity. This color is typically used with clear glass; colored glass is not necessary. When the light is off the color of the tube is clear. Add 100-percent argon gas and a purple fluorescent-lined colored glass tube. The same purple colored glass tube will give a magenta color when neon gas is used instead or argon. When the light is off the color of the tube is white. Add 100-percent argon gas to a green fluorescent lined colored glass tube to make a
