I was trying to think of how to do this in the easiest way possible, so as to match the video, but it is hard.
Basically the color of light is determined by the energy of the photon. The energy of the photon is determined by the energy bands of the crystal. Therefore by choosing crystals with different bands you can get different color light.

I thought it was cute, but I’m unsure about the sound-engineering for the robot voice… could anyone make out any of the names (I think that’s what they were?) in the intro sequence? I think maybe the green LED is called Guth?
Yes, something like that. See, that’s the problem, I was hoping the puppets would make it easier.
