P. S. you can use a single color LED if you like.

Test the circuit. plug in the led to the battery (which had a built in connector) and grounding the third (control) lead.
when you fist apply power to this LED it will run through a series of colors. After word when you press the button it will alternate between a color or go into sleep mode (off).
