Does anyone have any links to some Halloween hued FastLED effects that would look good on strips mounted on the outside of a house? Orange blobs… orange with green confetti… etc.

Only if it’s quick and simple for you to find. I may not get the strips up in time, so I don’t want anyone to put a lot of effort into something I might not be able to use.

// This example combines two features of FastLED to produce a remarkable range of

// the combination is extremely powerful.

// You might want to look at the "ColorPalette" and "Noise" examples separately

Check this example out. Experiment with the color palettes!

Here is a video I made a long time ago that uses the noise functions of the library. This might help in visualizing the scale and speed variables of the noise code.
