Adding tint to light emitted from an object (like a colored torch)

Think about walking into a room with a giant blue glowing orb. Sure it emits light, but when you think about it the light should be some tint of blue. I think a GM should have an option to tint the light emitted from a light source similar to how you can choose to add a tint to a token already. What do you guys think?

This is an amazing idea except you can sort of do this with auras.

I have a large fireplace that spreads light across part of a room. It should be a reddish light, not a glaring white light. Auras go through the Dynamic Lighting boundaries and can be seen outside the room, for example. If auras respected the DL boundaries, it could probably work. On a related topic: the angle of the light is off by 180 degrees. If I set the angle to 90 or 270, the fireplace emits light to outside the room; -90 doesn't work at all (no light shows). I would have to turn my fireplace token to the wall (!) to make it emit light into the room. -Falsoon

Then you can turn the token (and the direction of the angle of light emitted) without having to change the angle of the fireplace.
