''Neon''+Lights

If neon gas glows red, what gases are used in "neon" lights that are other colors?

 * __//Answer//__**

All of the noble gases emit different colors. Helium will glow an orange-white; argon will glow lavender; krypton will glow gray-green; xenon will glow gray or blue gray. Interestingly, mercury vapor, which is not a noble gas, glows a light blue. __**//Context//**__

This pretty much can relate to any unit that we study in chemistry class. The noble gases are an important part of the periodic table which is the reference to the entire basis of chemistry. This is just an example of how we can actually use these gases in real life.
