Neon can last decades. In practical terms the normal expected life span is between 8 to 15 years. Neon can be repaired and recharged as long as the tubing is not cracked/broken.
The identity of the gas in the tube determines the color of the glow. Neon emits a red glow, helium produces pale yellow, and argon yields blue. Mercury vapor also emits blue light, and sodium vapor emits yellow. The majority of neon signs contain either neon gas or a mixture of neon and mercury vapor.
