What is the reason for multiple color LED's

[Pahrens]

Why is it torches such as the Surefire Kroma have color LED's surrounding the white beam? I am just curious to know what one would use them for.

The red at least can save night adapted vision though there is still debate as to how well it does this. They are cool too!

Red is for preserving your night vision, while maintaining a low profile.

Blue is supposed to be able to see blood better.

Also, green is supposed to be good for map reading and hunting (it doesn't scare the game, or so they say) and yellow/orange penetrates fog and mist better.
