Are Blue LED lights illegal for number plate lights?

Even white may be illegal. When I got defected, because of blue number plate lights. The cop said to me all number plate lights must be clear.

The majority of white ones are kinda tinged blue, they arent pure white (least to my eyes?). Least all the ones ive bought under the colour "white" were!

Yeah the blue number plate makes it looks very blue. I think because the lights are so bright and obviously they are on at night it makes them come out blue depending on the colour of your car.

I had blue LED 's in my number plate lights (Nitro blue FG) and i thought they were tacky so i went to white lights and they look great. Have never been picked up on them at all.
