>>> np[0] = (255, 0, 0) # set to red, full brightness
>>> np[1] = (0, 128, 0) # set to green, half brightness
>>> np[2] = (0, 0, 64) # set to blue, quarter brightness

For LEDs with more than 3 colors, such as RGBW pixels or RGBY pixels, the
NeoPixel class takes a ``bpp`` parameter. To setup a NeoPixel object for an
RGBW Pixel, do the following::

>>> import machine, neopixel
>>> np = neopixel.NeoPixel(machine.Pin(4), 8, bpp=4)

In a 4-bpp mode, remember to use 4-tuples instead of 3-tuples to set the color.
For example to set the first three pixels use::

>>> np[0] = (255, 0, 0, 128) # Orange in an RGBY Setup
>>> np[1] = (0, 255, 0, 128) # Yellow-green in an RGBY Setup
>>> np[2] = (0, 0, 255, 128) # Green-blue in an RGBY Setup

Then use the ``write()`` method to output the colours to the LEDs::
