24 bit color, 8 bits per color channel, 16.7 million plus (theoretical) possible color combinations. The ultimate EveryCircuit color mixer!
Enter the color by setting the logic buttons (top for red, middle for green, bottom for blue). The respective hex value will be displayed on the 7-segment displays and the resulting color on the LEDs.

HOW IT WORKS:
An RGB LED makes different colors by mixing different amounts of RED, GREEN, and BLUE light together. By controlling the intensity of red, green, and blue, we can control the color of the RGB LED. Since LED intensity is based, more or less, on the current, increasing or decreasing the current will increase or decrease the amount of red, green, or blue. The logic buttons are used to control the current. First, the hex number is converted to an analog voltage with an 8-bit DAC. Then, a VCCS converts the voltage to a current to power the LEDs.
Try entering the hex numbers into a graphics editor program (like paint) and see how the colors compare. They match pretty well.
