This is for the hardcore Star wars fans out there. There are many different colored light sabers in the Star wars series, but i'm curious if there is any other purpose to the coloring. Are different colored light sabers better for certain things?

According to the game Knights of the Old Republic the Green lightsaber is used by a Jedi Consular, who are wiser and concentrate on developing their force powers. While blue belongs to the Jedi Guardian who are fighters and built for lightsaber combat. Reds means your evil. Purple means you're secure with your masculinity and starred in Pulp Fiction meaning you can have whatever damn color you want.

He's right about what they mean in Knights of the Old Republic, but that's far from anything canon and done for gameplay purposes. About two levels after getting your lightsaber, you can pick up crystals that change the color to whatever you want anyway.
So, outside of the game...lightsaber color is pretty much meaningless in terms of power or advantage. The focusing crystals determine the color of the blade. The crystals often originate from different locations on different planets, so colors vary.
The only exception is the red blade, but even that's a bit iffy. Most of it is derived from very old Jedi lore. It is rumored that a perfectly honed red blade can, under the right circumstances, overload the inclision matrix of another lightsaber...thereby causing it to shut down and "breaking the blade". It is also thought (though not proven) that the particular crystals that produce red blades exist on a frequency that is attuned more to the Dark Side of the Force. Thus, while anyone can build a red blade, only a Dark Side user can make it perform to its potential, ie: breaking blades.
This is, of course, conjecture. Recent discoveries about the nature of the Force bring this explanation into dispute. Many Jedi historians believe that the crystals required for a red blade were only found in the area of space that the first Dark Jedi colonized after the Jedi Civil War, thus founding the first Sith Empire. After that, it just became tradition, or a "sign of the Sith" sort of thing.
