1. An identification apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- at least two light emitting diodes (LED), each LED configured to emit a wavelength of light that is different from a wavelength of each other LED;
a controller configured to drive the at least two LEDs to each emit light at specified intensities in response to a color identifying value; and
a blending medium configured to combine the light emitted by the at least two LEDs into an identifying color that identifies a group of devices.

Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for identifying and differentiating among multiple groups of devices, comprising at least two LEDs, a controller, and a blending medium. The at least two LEDs emit a wavelength of light that is different from a wavelength of each other LED. The controller drives the at least two LEDs to each emit light at specified intensities in response to a color identifying value. The blending medium combines the light emitted by the at least two LEDs into an identifying color that identifies a group of devices.
