Is there a tool that will create a LED indicator? I need to make about 6 indicators that show when something happens or is happening. Two of the indicators need to show multiple colors.

Why not use a PictureBox where you set an appropriately colored image to act as your indicator? You can add as many PictureBoxes as you need indicators then.
If you're advanced enough I'd even suggest to create a user control for your purpose.

You would have to persist the state of your indicators (file, registry, DBMS) so when the application is started again you can restore the indicators to their last settings.
