Next, we needed to figure out how we wanted the neopixel strip to light up.  We didn't want the device to be too intrusive, so we decided against blinking lights or animating the lights.  Then, we did some research into the meaning of colors, and decided the colors being  yellowish brown, green, and pink since those colors were the feelings we were trying to evoke with this device (warmth, calm, soothing, comfort, and optimism).  We also thought these colors looked good together and almost like a flower, which evokes a feeling of nature and intimacy since flowers are commonly given to love ones.

After deciding the colors, we coded the neopixel strip to see how the colors looked together and edited the rgb values to get better colors closer to what we imagined.
