Well I know that you're going for main aspect signals rather than calling on/shunt signals but if you did want ground or associated position light signals of the 1980s then white LEDs and red LEDs would do the trick. Red + White for ON as in the photo below, white + white for OFF.

Interestingly enough, the very latest signals on the railway nowadays ARE high intensity LEDs where Red, Yellow & Green can all be created in one lamp.
