Hah -- I /thought/ that was a 1980's blue LED! The really-blue
inexpensive LEDs that we see these days came onto the market in the
late-90's, prior to that there were blue LEDs but there were quite
expensive. I designed a product in the 80's that used those earlier,
expensive blue LEDs and I noticed that the high-beams indicator in the
van has the same paler baby-blue, almost sky-blue tint as the old LEDs.
