Multicolor LED Blink

This program blinks a multi-color LED through the colors Red, Blue and Green. The multi-color LED actually three LEDs - A Red, Green and Blue LED. Other colors are possible since combinations of colors and mixing of colors are seen as new colors.


NOTE: The Green lead of the LED (G) is located on the right side of the connection diagram above (connections matter!).


NOTE: Some Multi-color LEDs connections can vary from the connection diagram above and you may need to connect the leads differently than shown above. 

Challenge: make the LED blink through the colors Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, and Blue 

--------------------------- Copy Code Below

void setup()
{
  pinMode(8, OUTPUT); //Red
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT); //Green
  pinMode(10, OUTPUT); //Blue  
}

void loop()
{
  digitalWrite(8, HIGH); //Red ON
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(8, LOW); //Red OFF
  digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //Green ON
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(9, LOW); //Green OFF
  digitalWrite(10, HIGH); //Blue ON
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(10, LOW); //Blue OFF
  delay(1000);
}
