Strange. Try the Blue.

S sghioto Joined Dec 31, 2017 8,634 Oct 30, 2025 #249 That's the current reading with all 9 LEDs ON ?
S sghioto Joined Dec 31, 2017 8,634 Oct 30, 2025 #251 That's good. But need to redo the test. Connect the G and B RGB wires to negative, leave R not connected or what's also called "floating". Only the RED LEDs should be ON, read meter.
