Thanks,
RGB is more fun, and not much more work or money.

I am using 5050 SMD RGB strips from eBay.

These are basic RGB, which have 4 contacts. There are also "horse race" or "chaser" 5050 RGB strips, which have 10 contacts and while offer more programming options the contacts are microscopic and hard to solder.
