Any time I see code like that I think array and for loops. Does that help.
NOTE I did not read in depth but assume a logical pattern that can be coded in a loop.

Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.

@henrik_t7 Is there some sort of pattern, or algorithm so that the code can be reduced?
OR
Would you prefer totally random, that's doable in much less code.
I am interested because I have a string of those multi-coloured leds that I promised my wife would be up for next xmas and some music would drive them, not sure if it's a hearing thing or data (off the net) thing.

Hi
I have made a counter which counts from 0 to 9 on two RGBDigit 08 "full color 7 Segment.
I have used FastLED library for this task. If you see the code, you can not do it any other way ??
FastLED library link: https://fastled.io/
RGBDigit link: https://www.rgbdigit.com/shop/index.php?id_product=21&controller=product&id_lang=1
Do you always want the segment to light up as a specific colour (i.e. this segment is always the same colour, (for instance [0] -s always YELLOW), unless it's OFF in which case it's black) ?
Anything seems possible when you don't know what you're talking about.

Last time I remember using this fastLed library.

Haven't seen these color 7 segment displays before.
With the old monochrome 7 segment displays you would simply count up to nine and use a binary coded decimal to seven segment decoder ic.
