There is only one neon gas. It's name is neon. It is an element, and is on the Periodic Table of elements. It produces a red glow. There are other gases used in neon lights. Here they are along with their color of glow: Helium, peach glow. Argon, sky blue. Krypton, pale mauve. Xenon, pale violet. These colors combined with different colored glass make the neon signs you see every day be in all colors.

Are all neon lights made up of neon gases why?

No. Only the lights that give off a reddish light contain actual neon. Different color lights contain different gasses such as helium or argon. This is because every substance has a unique emission spectrum which dictates what colors of light it will give off if its electrons are excited such as by an electrical current.

Why neon was given this name?

When discovered, it's properties in an electrical field were unique to anything discovered up to that time. So it was named "Neon", a "New" type of gas. Since then, we have discovered that a variety of gases have vivid color effects in an electrical field (which is why there are different colors of "neon" lights).

What noble gas is used in neon lights?

Neon, obviously. Less obviously: the only true neon lights are those that give off an orange-red glow. Other colors result from other gases; for example, argon is used to give a blue color. Nowadays most "neon" lamps are really mercury vapor fluorescent lamps with tinted glass providing the color. A real neon light is almost always clear when turned off; the mercury vapor ones have a sort of cloudy appearance like other fluorescent bulbs.
