That's what it is, was wondering what was going on. You're right, it doesn't look great if white is cranked before selecting the effect, and reducing it after selecting the effect does nothing. Reducing white before selecting the effect works though, so that's a workaround at least
Operating environment/Installation (Hass.io/Docker/pip/etc.):

Affected component:

Description of problem: When using Addressable Rainbow Effect with and RGBW LED strip it uses the white pixel which makes the effect look pale. The issue occurs when setting some RGBW colors and afterwards activating the Rainbow effect. Changing the white value (via code and/or Home Assistant Frontend) has no effect on this behavior.

Additional information and things you've tried: Tried using
call.set_white
andcall.set_rgbw
. Tried to use those function calls with an additionalcall.perform
right before activating the rainbow effect. Also tried to "unset" optional white usingcall.set_white({})
. It has no effect. It will always give a pale rainbow because there's too much white color.Rainbow effect only works fine when not setting / touching the white value.
