Um ackshully it depends on the crystal and power source, Mace Windu’s purple lightsaber is explained as being an electric arc IIRC. (IRL Samuel L Jackson just wanted to be able to see himself in the wide shots apparently.)
I think in the spirit of the level of comedic pedantry we are trying to hit here I will point out that electric arcs are electrons the plasma is what’s around it. In the case of purple likely argon and/or krypton.

That must be a Legends thing because I can’t find anything like that in the Canon page on Wookieepedia.
No this is one of those Lucas made it up because I was serious about the second part things.
An electric arc is plasma.
