However, now watching the new ROTJ DVD, I see that in fact the lasers fired by the Speeder bikes are yellow. That is, assuming this isn't something that was changed in the 2004 editions... ; )

 

The training remote that shot light blasts at Luke in ANH also fired yellow bolts.

Here's a paragraph from the official Star Wars Databank:

Wookiees view their bowcasters as highly personal possessions. The weapons are bestowed upon young Wookiees as they complete traditional rites of passage into adulthood. Wookiees commonly decorate their bowcasters with clan markings, pictographs, and other engravings celebrating their greatest accomplishments.

Now that's comedy! :D

 

I never liked the term Wookiee Bowcaster, I always referred to it as a Wookiee Blaster Crossbow, yes it had two bow-like things near the front, but there was no string or cable on the bow, and it fired blaster bolts after all so it never really fit the term Bowcaster to me... oh well. ;)
