Tape a piece of colored transparent plastic over the LED.

There is nothing in the Android SDK for this.

You are welcome to try to find some Android device that has a camera flash that uses different colors, then contact the manufacturer of that device to see if they exposed some SDK add-on to give apps control over that color. Out of several hundred million Android devices, there are approximately zero that offer this capability.
