My thoughts are that if someone's going to Ilum and getting a new crystal, then that crystal can be a new color. I think TCW sort of canonized personality detection lightsabers, in that Anakin played around with Ahsoka's (originally green) lightsabers so much that they turned blue like his lightsaber, but something that changes color based on the wielder's mood is lol. I'm also something of a color purist, in that I accept four lightsaber colors: blue, green, red (for the Sith), and white (for Sith crystals that have been healed), of which blue and green are found naturally. Purple is acceptable if you're Mace Windu. I guess yellow is also canon? But yeah. A character getting a new chunk of kyber and this is green instead of blue, or an ever so slightly different shade of blue, or something to that effect – that's acceptable. Inventing fancy new blade colors like pink or black or "viridian core with a purplish haze that has white flames flickering in it" just makes me roll my eyes.
