LED Christmas Bulb Pattern/Sequence

[Cinderella]

Hi,
I am going LED Christmas lights this year. I am also buying separate bulbs to go into a 25 foot string with 25 bulbs a string. I want to use red, blue, green and then a slow fade bulb that changes red/grn/blue/yellow.
My questions is :
Is there any certain pattern that I should or should not use to make the tree look ok? In other words, I see that prevamped strings run the same sequence (red,blue,green, yellow, red, blue green, yellow etc.). But I was wondering if anyone can give me a suggestion that might look nice or should I just do the red, blue, green, fade, red, blue green fade, sequence. I hope you understand what I am looking for. Also, I was thinking about sticking a few twinkle/blinkers on the line too, how often on the line should that be placed? Thanks!:D

To the best of my knowledge the C7 and C9 individuals bulbs (LEDs actually) are not capable of fading, without very significantly impacting their life span. They are not designed to fade.
I have heard they have new ones coming out (?nextseason) that will be. Not sure exactly when.
Then C6s, M5s, etc that are in a string of 25, 35, 70, or 100, etc are capable of fading.

Thank you for the heads up! :)

I use red, green, blue strings for all my fades. These three colors will give you seven colors when you combine them.

red
red + green = yellow
green
green + blue = cyan
blue
blue + red = magenta
R+G+B = white

It works.

Excellent! That is exactly what I was looking for. Sounds like it will look incredible. Thank you!;)
