This is a quick reference chart of LED forward voltage versus color for those wanting to use LEDs as voltage references.
Red, yellow and green are the colors I've seen used.

Re: LED Forward Voltage, Vf, Versus Color
I've used red before, for a drop used to generate a bias voltage in a later BBD delay kit. It was a little odd to have an LED lit inside the closed unit. The other LED colors were too expensive when I considered this kind of stuff (the red was an relative extravagance) ...
I didn't know that many LED colors exist.

[edit when I looked for cost effective UVc LEDs (200-280 nm) I didn't have much luck (i did find a UVc CFL lamp). /edit]
