Make a box.
Hit "e" to bring up the entity window.
Find "light" on the drop-down list and select it.
Hit "make entity"
Click on the little "+" button.
In the first box type "light" and in the second type in 3 sets of numbers ("1 0 0" would be 100% red)
Hit "ok"

Hope that helped.

Be careful not to abuse colored lighting, though.  It can look really bad (especially with some of those saturated values).

For more clarification, each number tells how much red, green, and blue to have the light emit.  Numbers range from 0.0 (none at all) to 1.0 (full color).  Something like:

0.5 0.5 1.0 would have red and green at 50% and blue at 100%.

A better way to add more natural colored lighting is to use some of the colored light emitting textures as light sources.

How you figure those numbers are RED? I like to try diffrent colors. :)

If this helps... this is an OpenGL color list... the values should be the same (minus the f at the end for floats) but I would think this would be the same color theory if you need it to figure out colors.
