Can you buy coloured lights with no blue?

Just that really. I'd like a more vintage look, and the blue bulbs put me off a bit. I was wondering if anyone had seen sets that don't include blue.

And if not, is it safe to use glass paint to give them a more purple hue or will I just end up burning the house down Grin

I haven't seen a set without blue (I get migraines with blue light so I understand the need!)
What we did was buy another cheap string of lights, and swap out the blue ones for another colour.
A second "donor" string was much cheaper than the replacement bulb packs.

Blue ones are horrible, especially the flashing ones. Who wants their tree to look like an ambulance?
