Xenon is a colourless gas.
If you are referring to the light given out by HID Xenon bulbs, this is created by the electric arc generated inside the bulb. The colour of the arc can be altered by adjusting the mixture of chemicals in the gas. These are primarily various metal ions.
Xenon gas is used because it is not only colourless, but is inert, meaning the high temperatures in the bulb will not cause it to react to any part of it.
Xenon HID bulbs come in a range of colours from pure white through to purple. For use in cars, white or off-white is generally preferred, as these give the greatest light output.
See: Xenon HID Bulb information as in the link below.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when you mix fluorine with xenon?
When you mix fluorine with xenon, the fluorine can react with xenon to form xenon fluorides, such as xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) or xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). These xenon fluorides are generally unstable and highly reactive compounds.
What is five common compounds that contain Xenon?
Xenon is a noble gas. I would think any compounds would be hard to make with using Xenon.
What forms a hexafluoride argon or xenon?
Xenon has a hexafluoride, which is xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). Argon does not have a stable hexafluoride compound.
Does xenon form a monatomic ion?
Yes, xenon can form monatomic ions, known as xenon ions. Xenon can lose electrons to form positively charged xenon ions or gain electrons to form negatively charged xenon ions.
How many electrons does xenon have?
Xenon has 54 electrons.
What colours does the LG xenon come in?
Black, red, Blue, and purple. But i think purple can only be bought at bell :)

What is the usual state of matter that iodine is found in?
Iodine is naturally found in solid form.
What is the chemical name for XeF8?
Xenon Difluoride
What forms a hexafluoride argon or xenon?
