Love LEDs but I’m trying to figure out when a pin would call for red/blue/green color changing LEDs?

There are two places where I've seen them used effectively that I can recall:
Sinbad backglass on the wizard's magic spark.
Genesis's plain white pop bumpers.
I don’t think an art department failed more on a great pinball machine like what they did to Genesis.
Quoted from DudeRegular:The RGB GI in the Monster Bash remake (SE and LE) is pretty cool. This is coming from someone that only puts white bulbs in GI when I redo a game. MMr has the kit available and it comes on their new editions SE/RE) as well.
I'm a little more lenient with lighting. I'm at 90% white and a little color hidden in the back or sides.
Just installed the RGB kit on a MMRLE for a friend. He loves it. I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm so used to the game being all white I don't know if I like it yet. Was thinking it needs some spot lights for the center. Now for MBRLE it works great! AFMRLE is pretty good too.

I bought a few while ago and I'm pretty stumped myself. Bought one game with it in the credit light button on an early solid state, guess as good a place as any. maybe a game like time fantasy?
I have a couple behind Alt Shadow Back Box, at the city scape level.
They are flex heads, and look like the buildings are popping/on fire/explosions, in the distance.
Quoted from Mr68:I'd suggest a Supreme. The entire left side.
Trying to lure o-din back? He may find the mashup of Supreme + LEDs irresistible.
These are best used sparingly. I put 2 or 4 bulbs in my Whirlwind in the very back corners. These were the "quick changing" not fade between color lights. The end result and covered up one of the 4 colors so the bulbs periodically went dark. The end result was a subtle flashing effect in that area. The strip light I put above it overpowered the effect a little, but I thought it looked very cool and was a cheap mod.
The 20 to 40 second mark of this video (not made for the purpose) shows the effect.
Totally worth $4.
