If you're using a texture to emit light, it will emit whatever color light the texture is.  If you're using a light entity, I think you use "_color".  Like "_color" "1 .5 .7" would have 100% red, 50% green, 70% blue.  I can't remember if you need the underscore or not.  It may just be "color".  Don't go overboard with this, as it just looks bad.

Sounds like you don't have your BSP set up correctly, then.  Did you follow the installation TXT file?
