What resistors would use for a SMD RGB LED?
The LED has 6 pins

3 ground
1 red (2.0-2.3v) 20ma
1 blue (3.0-3.4v) 20ma
1 green (3.0-3.4v) 20ma

Each color is rated at 20 milli-amps
That does not mean you MUST run them at 20 mA. Get the LED, adapt it to a breadboard and try different resistor values and see what effect it has. It would be difficult to theorize what color you would get.
