RGB Backlight Instructions

The RGB (Red, Green, Blue) backlight can change color based on which connections are grounded. Mix your ground connections to make a variety of colors! Check out the pictures to get an idea of how to mix colors to get the desired effect. 

Colors created:

  • Red

  • Green

  • Blue

  • Teal (Green + Blue)

  • Yellow/Green (Green + Red)

  • Purple (Red + Blue)

  • Ice Blue White (Red + Blue + Green)

Make sure to use the correct resistors for each color (assuming a 4.5-5V source in a DMG):

  • Green = 100ohm resistor

  • Blue  = 100ohm resistor

  • Red  = 150ohm resistor

Ground the left most ground to get a green color.

Ground the middle to get blue.

Right side is red.

Mix Green and Blue to get light blue or teal.

Red + Blue = Purple.

Green + Red = Yellow.

Ground all 3 to get a special white.
