Another idea might be use Neopixel strips or whatever those things are
officially called.  Each LED has its own chip inside so you send it an
RGB value and it lights up at the color and brightness you tell it.
They are addressible, there's an older style with a timing based
interface, and a newer style that uses SPI directly:

https://www.adafruit.com/product/2240  These are the SPI ones
