I'm following this diagram

I'd also like my crystal chamber to be the same color as my main blade and I think with my common cathode RGB LED this is the best way to go about this.
Stolen from Kobi Dan Venobi
CF6 Multicolor Problem with ColorXtender
That shows a few different main blade colors with a single RGB 5mm led in the crystal chamber lighting up the corresponding color. What I did was hooked the B to accent pad 1, G to pad 2, R to pad 3, and then indicated which pad/combination of pads to light up during font selection for the menu, which to ignite during each font, as well as how to behave during ignition. Granted, I didn't have it directly mirroring the blade during FoC, but I put the settings for the accents in such a way that it flickered fast enough that it looked to the eye to be mirroring the blade's flicker. In the end the customer wanted to just go with a solid constantly lit color matching the blade color, so that was a bit simpler of a config that doing all the different delays ;D
So my concern is mostly which of these statements are correct?
1 neg wire tied to all the rebel's neg LED pads and just splice off that single wire
or
using a separate neg wire for every rebel die and each of those goes to it's own spot on the color mixing board (cex)
