I didn't look too far but it would appear you might be able to have a solid blue light.

(D) Except a person operating a public safety vehicle, as defined in division (E) of section 4511.01 of the Revised Code, or a school bus, no person shall operate, move, or park upon, or permit to stand within the right-of-way of any public street or highway any vehicle or equipment that is equipped with and displaying a flashing red or a flashing combination red and white light, or an oscillating or rotating red light, or a combination red and white oscillating or rotating light; and except a public law enforcement officer, or other person sworn to enforce the criminal and traffic laws of the state, operating a public safety vehicle when on duty, no person shall operate, move, or park upon, or permit to stand within the right-of-way of any street or highway any vehicle or equipment that is equipped with, or upon which is mounted, and displaying a flashing blue or a flashing combination blue and white light, or an oscillating or rotating blue light, or a combination blue and white oscillating or rotating light.
what I think is funny though is if you read the section, it states a flashing red light is not allowed to be used. Just what are you supposed to use for turn signals or emergency flashers? I know that isn't what they meant but it says what it says.

OP is not in California. But thanks for playing
And, while I wanted to show there was a person who spent their life for years fighting such a ticket and lost, I recognize the actual law is not relevant so I wrote the fact Goldy was from CA.

It is the lesson and not the law I was trying to show. Sorry for thinking the OP wanted advice and not a google search of statutes.

Why not just stop acting like a 10 year old and take the colored lights off your car? Then you won't have to worry about it, especially if you travel with the car anywhere else.
