Is it illegal to have turn signals that don't light up amber?

I know in NY they HAVE to be amber. I remember checking out a Tiburon and the dude showed me tickets for illegal turn signal indicators. He stuck blue ones in there all the time.

Man, so uptight! As long as it blinks when we turn, it shouldn't matter.

I think its got to do with visibility, i'd imagine that a colour such as white probably wouldn't be that easy too see during a bright sunny day or at night when your headlights are on (as they are white too), especially from 100m or so.
I guess they could be a bit more leanient though and allow some variety in the colours you can use, but oh well.

I used "white" bulbs when i first got my clear lenses, and never got any trouble with them (and i get pulled over like once a week, just because lol) but i think with clear lenses the amber bulb looks alot better, at least with mine (crystal clear)
I think as long as they arent blue you will be fine
