Re: Changing gas in Nixie tubes.

Longer-life tubes that were manufactured later in the nixie timeline have mercury added to reduce sputtering resulting in a blue or purple tinge to the emitted light. In some cases, these colors are filtered out by a red or orange filter coating on the glass.
Sounds like if its all clear glass then yes you can make it a blue color. i have seen them but never tryed to change one from orange to blue.
Im in Ohio and would love to try it.
