The reason you've seen people "lay out there LEDs all kinda if ways" is because there is no one right way..
Just lay them out in an pattern you think that seems to spread them out..
Obviously don't clump all one color on one side..

You didn't even state the size of your heatsink..

Also if you use the search you will find TONS of information about this already..

"DIY" is so much more fun when you do it yourself instead of having someone else do it for you.. Its not rocket science..

Alternate white and royal blue and throw in some of the other 3 colors every once and a while
