Without resorting to fcuk (which works), what are some other words besides "light" can be either one of the three? You can't change the word. I thought mouse would be pushing it.

Would "Google" count?

I used Google.
Why don't you Google that term?
I complied a list of Google results.

That should not read "feeling" blue; it should read "wearing" blue.

A blue is an argument, at least it is in Oz.

Or a bluey in Oz is a blowfly - or you can be called blue or bluey if you have red / ginger hair

When you blue a gun barrel, the blue job results in a blue color.

A parking ticket or traffic offence can also be a bluey.

Cool - the noun would be like "The Birth of the Cool" by Miles Davis - cool being the state of being 'cool' - a type of music.

See the reason I brought up blue, it that the word can't be changed in an way.  The Blues (added S), The Bluey (added y) are words which wouldn't be accepted.  But as a noun on it's own..
▸ noun:  any of numerous small chiefly blue butterflies of the family Lycaenidae
▸ noun:  blue clothing ("She was wearing blue")
▸ noun:  the color of the clear sky in the daytime ("He had eyes of bright blue")
▸ noun:  any organization or party whose uniforms or badges are blue ("The Union army was a vast blue")
▸ noun:  the sodium salt of amobarbital that is used as a barbiturate; used as a sedative and a hypnotic
▸ noun:  the sky as viewed during daylight ("He shot an arrow into the blue")
▸ noun:  used to whiten laundry or hair or give it a bluish tinge
