Maybe it's because I haven't been to the boards in a long time, you are talking about using one LED that does Red, Green and Blue? If so, is it the one Sparkfun sells?

I don't know if any others, so if there are let me know where you picked them up at? I just want to make sure there's not a RGB LED I'm missing out on.

RGB = Red, Green, Blue. And my mixing those three colors and intensities, you can get tons of different colors.

RGB leds are sold all over.  Ebay has many.  Groovy Game Gear and Ultimarc have them built into buttons which makes it much easier to work with.  Many LED specialty sites are on the internet.

Well, now I just feel stupid. I even has a reseller account over at ultimarc. I've been buying mine from sparkfun thinking they were the only one's who sold them.

Sorry, doc for the mini thread-hi-jack!

Or - super cheap - backlight them all with a flourescent tube. The old school way.
