> I have pretty cool LED lighting in my apartment and can make my whole living room any color I want at night.

This sounds very cool, any chance you could post a picture of your living room with some different colors?

It's summer in Norway here so it doesn't really get dark before my bedtime tonight, but here are some really short videos from a party a couple of months ago: https://goo.gl/photos/PKyzv8HkCyVJSdzv7

Normally I have it set to a static color or a very slow and smooth fade, not the crazyness seen in the vids.

Here's blue, which is totally dark with the Uvex glasses: https://goo.gl/photos/SCrU1PhbDmCuPi22A

I love that blue! So what's the cost for that type of a setup?

Probably below 40$ for the whole shebang. It's this, just with an additional 5 m strip and a power adapter: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10M-3528-RGB-LED-Strip-Waterp...

Wow, that's cheap. So the blueness in the entire room is emanating from the bright spots along the roof?

Sounds like GP is using Phillips Hue or similar bulbs, which can be programmed (via a phone or computer) to automatically change colors by individual light or groups (i.e. the lights in your bedroom change to warm hues at night and cool hues prior to wakeup)
