All the above. The only thing I would add is to STRONGLY consider RGB's. That will let you change the colors. If you run it off an Arduino, you can even program custom colors, patterns, and cycles.

Check out r/fastled. I've used fastled to customize my Christmas lights.

Great idea, that rock with a full color set of RGB's would be amazing. I really need to learn more about setting up and programing an Arduino. That really unlocks truly unlimited DIY possibilities. Put a microphone on the board and program it to pulse colors to music.

FastLED makes it much easier. There are a lot of sketches you can load up and tweak, and the community support is awesome.
