Illuminated marshalling wands - approved or permitted colours

Does anyone know if any national or local authorities or airport operators have specific colour requirements for these ? Pink, red and yellow are common enough but I don't think I've seen blue, green or purple being used. I know they exist ! Any ideas ?

Thankyou.

There is an ICAO standard. The U.K. should be using the standard, that said, the wands available for purchase have the option to select an array of colours by repeatedly pressing the button to cycle through the choice. One unit I know of uses the first available colour due sheer laziness by the Marshallers (they won’t mind me saying that as they will agree) which happens to be Blue. The pilot must think he is being marshalled by a taxiway edge light.

Thanks for your reply Andy. Do you have an appropriate ICAO link please ? I've looked on their website without any joy. Ta.
