RGB LED

Three-color light source

An RGB LED is a light-emitting diode that combines red, green, and blue elements in a single package, allowing it to produce a wide spectrum of colors by mixing these primary light sources at varying intensities.

RGB LEDs are ubiquitous in decorative lighting, gaming peripherals, and PC builds, where customizable color schemes have become a defining aesthetic: The keyboard's RGB LEDs cycled through a rainbow pattern.
