This means you can display the following colors: Red, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, White and all off. There is no support for PWM control of the backlight at this time, so if you need to have more granular control of the RGB backlight to display a larger range of colors then this plate can't do that because the I2C expander does not have PWM output.)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Positive","offer_id":286892044,"sku":"ADA1109","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Negative","offer_id":286892250,"sku":"ADA1110","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/1109_LRG_v2.jpg?v=1382098682","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-rgb-16x2-lcd-keypad-kit-for-raspberry-pi","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
