The manual does indeed say each pin has a pull-up resistor, and I would
expect it to pull down one pin or the other depending which colour it
want to show.
But why would the LED show one colour when on, but _not_ the other
colour when off? Given that both colours work, depending on which way
round I connect it ...
2 PWR_P/SLP_N
4 PWR_N/SLP_P
Power on - one colour
Sleep - other colour
Off - no power so no led at all
