Red Lantern Corps: Rage. Uncontrollably Bloodthirsty. Puke acidic blood on people.

Orange Lantern: Avarice. Greed to the extreme. Majorly corruptive. Only one Lantern though, but he in himself is a threat to entire Green Lantern Corps.

Yellow (SInestro) Lanterns: Fear. Make fears come to life. Their bigdog was also imprisoned in the Green Lantern Central Power Battery which originally made the Green Corps unable to touch anything yellow with their powers. (So Superman: Kryptonite, Manhunter: Fire, Hal Jordan: Banana). Which made Green sheilds kinda ineffective.

Green Lanterns: Willpower.

Blue Lanterns: Hope. They can't do much other then fly and and heal people without a green lantern around, but they supercharge a Green Lantern's powers in return for gaining the ability to make own constructs etc.

Indigo Tribe: Compassion. They absorb other lantern powers, not drain just sortof absorb their abilities. Think they're a bit nuts as well, but not sure on these ones. They also cheat by carrying the Recharge batteries on them at all times in their staves.

Pink (Star Sapphires): Love. The sort of crazy stalker love that can lead to encasing entire worlds in solid crystal to preserve their love for eternity. Hal's girlfriend Carol Ferris was the main one. Lucky him...

Then there's black lanterns and white lanterns. Death and life. They're a whole other thing. Your information is a tad outdated on some colors.

Red Lantern is spot-on, although I will add that the red lantern ring replaces the lantern's heart. This means without the ring pumping the acidic blood of rage, the wearer will die. For obvious reasons, this was kiddified on GL:TAS. Only blue and violet rings (and Mogo too) can remove red rings without killing the user.

For Orange, there was one other lantern - Lex Luthor. The guardian is Sayd - Ganthet's lover and one of the creators of the Blue Lantern corps. Orange rings can steal power from other rings, except blue and indigo, and are largely immune to green rings. Larfleeze can create energy constructs of the beings he killed.

Yellow Lanterns are now led by Arkillo. Well, the corps is COMPOSED of Arkillo, since Sinestro the Green Lantern destroyed the yellow battery. The weaponer of Qward made a new one for Arky, who's basically a mean version of Kilowog.

We all know about Green Lanterns. We also learn that the Guardians are trying really hard to destroy their own corps in favor of a third army. The third army assimilates your body, but keeps your eyes. The zombification process does not work on a red lantern whose ring is on.

Blue Lanterns are led by Saint Walker (used to have Ganthet as a guardian, until he was lobotomized by the guardians). Extremely powerful - a blue ring has been shown to resuscitate a dying sun by just drawing on the power of hope on the dying world's inhabitants. However, without proximity to green rings, only flight and personal force field is possible. Blue rings supercharge green rings to 200% (may cause it to explode), and if green lanterns are present, can drain yellow rings, cure wounds, neutralize red ring "constructs", and block orange rings.

Indigo Lanterns are composed of evil psycopaths without an ounce of compassion. Their guardian is a being named Natromo, who, along with Abin Sur, created the corps. The Indigos are being mind-controlled by their rings, in the hopes that they would eventually find redemption by learning compassion. If the rings are offline, the lanterns revert to the jerks that they are.

As far as violet rings are concerned, you've covered all the basics. Violet rings are capable of great feats when acting in concert with the target's true love. This includes removing a red lantern ring, and resurrecting someone who recently died.

Black Lantern rings are capable of coopting any ring bearer, except reds. If a live person wears a black ring, they die immediately. The ring controls the corpse, and can be destroyed by a green ring working together with any other color.
