What Do the Different Alexa Light Colors Mean?

In addition to the yellow ring, Alexa devices use various light colors to convey different statuses. Here’s a quick overview to help you understand what each color signifies:

Blue: Indicates Alexa is actively listening or processing a command. This is the most frequently seen color when interacting with the device.
Green: Signals an incoming call or that a call is in progress.
Red: The microphone is turned off, so Alexa is unable to hear or respond to voice commands.
Orange: Appears when the device is in setup mode or attempting to connect to a network.
Purple: Shows when “Do Not Disturb” mode is enabled or if there are issues with the Wi-Fi connection.
White: Displays when you are adjusting the device’s volume.

By knowing these light indicators, you can better interpret Alexa’s alerts and address issues quickly.
