Subject: Color of Star Wars crafts' thrusters?

Am airbrushing my FFG X-Wing minis and wanted to double check on the right colors for each Star Wars craft's thrusters.
I'm assuming all the X-Wings, Y-Wings, etc. all have red thrust.
While Correllian Freighters and larger ships like the Lambda and Decimator would have light blue thrust.
And, TIEs don't actually have any colored thrust?
Does that sound right?

Pretty much, maybe check Youtube for either the Battle of Yavin or Battle of Endor, the x-wings appear to vary from red to reddy purple depending on the shot

The X-wings engine glow is a little closer to pink, but red will work too. In the scale modeling world, the color I see for the Y-wing's engine glow is usually an orangish-red, but red/pink works too.
The YT-series ships have blue engines and the Lambda-class shuttles usually have a bluish engine glow too. The Firespray-31's have an orange engine glow also. The TIE's engines are the little greebles on the back of the cockpit ball and I don't think they glowed in the movies, but a lot of modelers make them red so it wouldn't look out of place.
