So ideally you would want a bulb that gives off the same colour as the plants, right?

no, you want a bulb that doesn't do anything to the plants when they're sleeping and you're trying to work on them. One that doesn't give off a light on the spectrum that will make the plant wake up or accept the light

Which would be a light the same colour as the plant. If the light is being reflected by the plant then it is not being absorbed, that is how we see colours.

Buy the green CFL at your local Home Depot. It's cheap.

Default Green spectrum of light not used by plants
permalink
Just like we know the plants use red and blue light, they do not use green light for photosynthesis. They are many products out there that are useful. The one i use is a head lamp w/ a green light. They are available at alot of grow stores now or a simple online search. Great Investment.

The question seems to be this: For the plants to be unaffected, does the bulb have to be one that emits only light in the green spectrum? Or, does the coloration of a bulb constitute a filter than removes all light BUT the green spectrum?

I'd really like to know the answer too. Logically I side with nomaad that not just any green light will work. But there seem to be a number of growers using plain colored bulbs with no ill effects. We would be hearing about hermies all over the place if they didn't work. I know some people who would know this but none I can think of a way to ask it. I don't want to say I'm growing anything.
