grb ws2812b?

I've recently started playing with a WS2812B ring and I expected the color format to be RGB, however when I send a [255,0,0] the first LED lights up green instead of red. This baffled me so I tried [0,255,0] and the first LED turned red and [0,0,255] blue. Are some variants of the WS2812b's GRB instead of RGB or am I doing something wrong? This also happens when using the graphics library the color scheme is GRB.

I've never seen RGB WS2812B's - I've always seen GRB.

Huh, here on the wiki it comments that as green but when I try it its red, but perhaps that is because the wiki is written on the older WS2811's?

EDIT: Nevermind you're completely correct, checked the datasheet and it does say follow the order of GRB. Guess I'm just gonna have to get used to it.

Annoyingly there seem to be many different colour orders - I think the APA104 ones might be different again?

I'm afraid it's just something you have to put up with - not much you can do from Espruino's side.

The ws2811 ones can be any color order, since it's up to the guy making the boards which color leds he puts on which pins

Just to add that if you're controlling them with the Graphics lib, you can specify a colour order: http://www.espruino.com/Reference#l_Graphics_createArrayBuffer

Thanks @Gordon I didn't know about that should make it easier for my brain, I'm just used to everything always being RGB.
