Jello shots can be served in shot glasses, as pictured, and can be virtually any color. Many, though, prefer jello shots in paper cups which can be turned inside out to free the jello from the cup. If you do serve jello shots in shot glasses, be sure to also provide knives, toothpicks, or some other mechanism to free the shot from the glass. Alternatively, warming the glass will cause the jello shot to slide free which can be accomplished by steeping them in warm water for less than a minute.
