Color of LED replacement bulbs

Ok, dumb question, but what color of LED replacement lights for tail/brake, turn and parking lights are people getting? The only ones I can find right now are red for the tail/brake and amber for the turn.

I figured white was the color for all the replacement bulbs.

No you DO NOT want to use white through a RED lens. White filters through, where red illuminates better in a red lens. Use the same color bulb if you have a colored lens. Use colored bulbs with clear lens applications.

I haven't taken the cover off the brake lights yet but aren't they white? They are on my old Toyota.
