Tri-rebel single color wiring

I'm wiring up a NB 2.0 and a tri-rebel (Rblue/green/red) with the goal of getting a purple blade. Is it as simple as just soldering the wires to the red and blue pads like I would with a single LED? I feel like it should be harder than that... Thanks!

You would need to properly resistor the LED's while you are doing your wiring.

Ahh, yeah, that makes sense. I assume you'd need to do each LED with a separate resistor and then rejoin the wires afterwards?

Correct.

Awesomesauce, many thanks. :)

I tried my hand at calculating resistances for the first time for the royal blue and red using a 3.7V 18650 battery. I'm glad of pulling this myself, as silly as it sounds.
Final results are a .5 ohm .5 W for the blue and a 1.86 ohm .9 W for the red (would probably use like a .47 ohm/.5 watt and 2 ohm/1W resistor respectively)

Blue: R = (3.4V - 3.2 fV)/1 = .5 ohms
P = .5*1^2 = .5 W

Red: R = (3.7V - 2.4 fV)/.7 = 1.86 ohms
P = 1.86*.7^2 = .91 W
