I like them to take away all lightsabers with black core.

White core - black aura

Also more like the orange-red / cyan-blue where the two colors are very close, but just different enough.

Not sure if there was any other colors mentioned in the EU before I, II, and III though.

But I agree there needs to be a line drawn, other wise we will start having rainbow hued crystals, and Pearled essence, and the like.
If you want to get technical, then the only colors George envisioned got changed in Episode 6 when he made the Green colored crystal himself.

If we want to get technical, the Chiss started out as a race no one had heard of, didn't venture out of their system, and Admiral Thrawn was a rarity, where as now the Chiss are every where, because almost everyone (and I include me in in this ) loved Thrawn.

They are. Actually, for the most part, they're just using the boring colors from SW.

I'm not sure about overmining, but after the Battle of Ruusan, there were drastically fewer colors in lightsabers. Note that SWTOR is set two thousand years before the Battle of Ruusan.

Perhaps now might be a good time to familiarize yourself with the Star Wars universe.

List of Lighsaber Colors: Note that it does indeed include "Light Green", "Jade Green", "Blood Red", "Pearl White", and "Aqua".

Remember kids: SWTOR is set in the EU, it is supposed to follow EU lore.

To be technical, you're just talking about the movies, and an old version of the universe which doesn't even agree with Episode I-III.

SWTOR is set in the EU. It should follow EU lore. In the EU there are loads of lightsaber colors.

would love to see a dark orange with white core saber (reddish orange)

I wish they would stop these black cores and other color core sabers. I wish they would just stick to the star wars white core sabers but experiement with the color of the blades, use different hues and shades of colors
