I'm thinking about driving 1 (or 2) with PNP, so PWM is inverted, and 1 (or 2) with NPN... that way, the current draw doesn't go o>45>0>45, but will go 15>30>15>30 in the worst case (white) and, most of the time, will be sitting somewhere in the middle with only 2 channels drawing power.
Dunno why the sim said to go so high for R53, because I can't get at the SPICE statements in that particular program to see what they've done with the model for that particular LED. That said, I have learned to take sim results with a fairly large pinch of salt. Proof of concept, fine, refined design and adjustment, forget it. The I/V curve for both green and blue LEDs are pretty similar, so I'll choose one schem for both, then tweak.
