Here is a picture of some RGB LEDs that will be used in one of my fursuits. Right now I am just testing them out and programming the microcontroller to run them. Everything that is driving them is all on the breadboard. The microcontroller I am using is tiny. Also I have uploaded a youtube video of the RGB LEDs in action.

I was also thinking about using an arduino (or just one of my Atmega128 boards) for some led matrices I wanted to integrate into my (nonexistent) fursuit. For your RGB LEDs I recommend looking into some I2C LED controllers, they will be a lot more friendly to wire, the arduino library already supports I2C out of the box and they have fading and automatic blinks rates support too, even though you could probably do that in software anyway but you could get way more LEDs with the controller. I'm pretty sure that you could sample some for free off there producers website if you wanted to give that a try. Anyway thats my micro-controller rant, hope you didn't fall asleep X3
I am already using an I2C network to run my RGB LEDs.
Two sets of wires are for the I2C network while the other 2 sets are for the power. If I was not using an I2C network there would be MANY more wires. I have some 4-wire ribbon cable that I can use to make it look much neater as well later on.
