I want to do something really simple.

I want to do something really simple. How do I turn on all led to one colour?

This is probably the easiest and fastest way:

fill_solid(leds, NUM_LEDS, CRGB::Red);

A more verbose way:

for (int i = 0; i < NUM_LEDS; i++) {
leds[i] = CRGB::Red;
}

Brilliant! Thanks!
