So this may take me a bit to explain. Hopefully people don't go TLDR on me.
I have been working on an Obi-wan Kenobi EP3 character blade and I am not sure if I have my config.txt, led.txt and font_config.txt file setup correctly. I realize that a CFX can handle numerous color profiles and blade profiles, but frankly, that doesn't matter to me right now.
All I want is 1 profile, 1 color and using The_Negotiator .wav files that came with the CFX, working perfectly with movement technology in the CFX.So the blade "works". Blade, power on, power off, FoC, etc. But there are some things that aren't "right", and I can only assume it will take a bunch of tweaking to get it right. I just have no idea what to tweak. If someone has a really good config.txt, led.txt and colors.txt file for an Obi-wan Kenobi EPS character blade, I would gladly just take them to use. But I would like to understand what's happening.

I don't seem to be able to get an actual BLUE color. I get more of an Ice Blue or Cyan or starts toward Purple. Whether I am using one of the 30+ color profiles that came with the CFX or I am using the R.I.C.E to manually adjust the color.
Does it have to do with using RBGW LED strips instead of RBG? I don't completely understand what needs to be different between an RBG and and RBGW led strip. If the details of the text files below are correct, could the Blue LEDs in the strips I have just not be that great?

If it is the strips just having an overall weak Blue LED color, is there anything I can do about it? Could I use a Day Blade, Trans Blue or Enhanced Blue blade to "correct" the color?

I have mine wired with the micro SD card on top, facing the rear of the hilt. So Bottom-Front orientation (2) or orient=2 in the config.txt file, Correct? But the smooth swing just seems off. I have seen Erv's video as well as several others using a CFX and their movements/sound with the blade is SUPERB! So I know it is the settings on mine. I just have no idea what to do.
