It used to be that LEDs were only red or maybe yellow and orange, which is why early electronics from the 70s and 80s only had red LEDs. The color emitted from an LED has to do with what type of material they are made of. So red, for example, is made with Gallium Arsenide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 10px 0px;\"\u003eSince then, scientists have experimented with many other materials and figured out how to make other colors such as green and blue, as well as violet and white.
