Interesting article John, thanks for sharing!
In 1972, electrical engineer, M George Craford invented the
first YELLOW colored LED for the Monsanto Company using
gallium arsenide phosphide:

This year (2014) Isamu Akasaki (Japan), Hiroshi Amano (Japan)
and Shuji Nakamura (USA) were awarded the Nobel Price in
Physics for inventing the BLUE light-emitting diode (LED) 1994,
using gallium nitride (GaN):
