I need to use a yellow and a white round light but only green and red round light is present in boolean (classic -> boolean)

How to change the colour of those lights?? Basically it should glow yellow and white respectively.

Right click on your indicator and choose "Properties"

Then under "Appearance" tab, you should see "Colors" (bottom left).

You can change the On and Off colors. Is that what you need?

There is a color tool in LabVIEW.

Click on the boolean to make it show the state you want to change color for, eg. dark green for false. Shift-right click to select the color tool underneath the popup box. Then right click on the green area of the boolean. You get a color selection popup dialog. Most LabVIEW parts have two colors: foreground and background. Change them as you want. Repeat for the other boolean state as needed.

You were given two (almost-equivalent) solutions.  CButcher said to use the Properties of the Boolean Control (which you can get by right-clicking the Control and choosing Properties) -- you get color boxes that you can select to change the colors, just as you can with the Tools Palette that Rolf suggested.

However, NI is slowly moving away from LabVIEW to something called LabVIEW NXG (stands for NeXt Generation), and guess what is (so far) prominently missing -- the Tools Palette.  This (apparently) is considered too "old-fashioned" -- I've seen it be the Tool of Choice for Developers who started using LabVIEW more than 10 years ago, and have heard some of them say that they'll not migrate to NXG if the Tools Palette is missing.

Myself, for this, I'd definitely use the right-click/Properties method, reserving the Tools Palette for some otherwise-hard-to-do cases ...

WHAAAT?  No tools palette???  LOL - If everything you do in the tools palette are instead a right-click away in a context menu, I'd be more than happy to abandon the tools palette.  I haven't had a chance to fool around with NXG yet, though.
