True, and in fact blue LEDs have actually been available for at least a
couple of years now, but as you say, their efficiency is still
questionable.

Including black, if the power is left off.  I particularly like the dual
red and green ones, where they are green within a narrow voltage range, and
red otherwise.

Alas, another alliterative and avaricious arsewipe abounds avidly, alacrity
