White: Probably because white is the brightest color (no colors are filtered out of white light) and the main runway lights are the most important lights for a pilot to see in bad weather. Blue: Probably because red is typically used as a warning color (and sometimes direction), and green is sometimes used to indicate direction, blue was available to use for taxiways and was not distracting.

The areas of road that are not the actual runway are taxiways. These lights are blue. Green lights are at the beginning of the runway itself, or approach end. The departure end is marked by red lights. Lights along the edges of the runway are white, changing to amber near the departure end of the runway. Recessed lights are located on the runway's center line at most large airports. For most pilots, it is initially a bit unnerving to land on these. They are, however, safely situated under protective covers. Sequenced flashing strobe lights line the approach threshold. Pilots can ask the air traffic controllers to change the intensity of the lights from the tower. The highest intensity is used to help incoming pilots locate the runway in times of reduced visibility. These lights are usually set to a low intensity at night so they won't interfere with the pilot's night vision.
Sure! You've got your taxi lights to use as headlights, so you can see the edges of the runway and not run off the sides or end of it. I wouldn't recommend landing on an unlit runway, though.
Runway edge lights are typically white and are used to delineate the edges of the runway during night operations or low visibility conditions. They may be green at the start of the runway, indicating the threshold, and red at the end, signaling the runway's end. In some cases, the lights can also be adjusted to different colors for specific operational needs, such as during construction or when the runway is closed.
these are the lights that are placed in the areas where the aircraft first touches the runway. the runway threshold ligts should be placed perpendicular to runway center line and as close as possible.The lights should show visible green in the direction of aircraft.
