Those 'bi-colored leds' are two leds essentially where only one at the time emits
light; you can turn them into tri-colored leds by switching their states alternately
very quickly but you'll need a bit of additional circuitry then.

But why does the color change then if you switch the poles?

They're diodes remember? They're mounted in opposite direction so at most one
of them conducts; the other blocks the current and vice versa.

Right, forgot about that. Only saw it a couple of month ago in physics class though.
