Aurora Borealis for the northern lights and aurora australis for the southern lights. They can be red, blue, green, even violet. They occur in the winter.
ADDED: Actually they occur at any time of year. They are not seasonal, but are much more likely to be visible in Winter simply because the skies are darker and for longer each day. I have been lucky enough to see them, while on holiday in Norway, and that in late August.

How did the northern lights get their name?
The solar winds from the sun are emitted towards the Earth, however, because of the Earth's magnetic field the winds are refracted away from the Earth. At the point where the magnetic field is at its lowest force, the winds can enter the Earth's surface and form an array of lights and colours which are the gases. The fact they are at either ends of the poles is the reason why they are called the Northern and Southern Lights. EASY: They are "lights" and the lights are in the "north", ergo the name, The Northern Lights.
