    White + Filters.

    Generally if its not a normal lux color like red, red orange, blue, green, cyan, or white its white + a filter for desired colors. or a RGB with pots.

    *giggles*..mmmhrrm, daughter, eh? Sure... (jk)...

    I concur with the above:
    - White with filters - the ones sold here include some pinks
    - joe jedi rgb, but hard-wired for just R and B, the R is a tad brighter = also making a definite pink

    I used to have a magenta filtered blade in my saber, but most people called it pink (or hot pink). It was a white Lux III and a magenta gel filter from Rosco.

    Here's an old pic I have of it. It's not the greatest, and it's the only one I had uploaded that I could share right now.



    I have since changed it out for a green blade but if you want to pm me your email address, I can email you a few better pictures back.

    Cool

    i would go RGB LED cuz if she is a girly girl she will prolly love to have baby blue and whatever other colors that u can come up with... u said u have a year so might as well read all the diagrams on how to make the multi colors with the RGB cuz in a year from now she mite want a diff color


    if u just want pink do the filters it will get the job done and she will be happy witch is all that matters in the end

    Just adding my $.02 here.

    This is a Seoul P4 white, with a circle of red plastic cut from the box my Hasbro Vader came in.

    I was hoping it would be red. My wife took one look and said in a sing-song voice, "Darren has a girlie saber".
