Color Patterns

how can create pattern cycle through specific set of colors. wrote code manually forces colors change, want have pattern added loop , way have time not working properly

void c9_colors(){


    leds[0] = crgb::white;
    leds[1] = crgb::red;
    leds[2] = crgb::green;
    leds[3] = crgb(255,40,0);
    leds[4] = crgb::blue;
    leds[5] = crgb(255,150,0);


i want set leds cycle these 6 colors want every 6th led specific color keeps color pattern through 200 leds, not 200 leds red, white, green example. led 0 white, led 6 white , on. after 600ms led 0 becomes red , led 6 red , on through pattern , start on in loop

similar problem:

code: [select]

//walkingmarkeever2
#include <adafruit_neopixel.h>

#define wait 500         //viewing time

bool allowwalking = true; //true  >>>---> allows colors walk
//                          false >>>---> stationary

#define ledcount 200       //total number of leds
#define pin 6             //output pin led strip
#define ledsperboard 6    //number of leds on pcb

int offset  = 0;          //offset or index colourarray[]

unsigned long colourarray[] =  //colour code sequence
{
  //example 1:
  //red       green     blue      pink      yellow    white     cyan      orange     black
  //0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, 0xff00ff, 0xff7f00, 0xffffff, 0x00ffff, 0xff3000,  0x000000

  //example 2:
  //red       green     blue      white
  //0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, 0xffffff

  //example 3:
  //red     red       green     green     blue      blue      pink      pink      white     white
  //0xff0000, 0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, 0x0000ff, 0xff00ff, 0xff00ff, 0xffffff, 0xffffff

  //example 4:
  //red       green     blue      pink      yellow    white
  0x3f0000, 0x003f00, 0x00003f, 0x3f003f, 0x3f3f00, 0x3f3f3f    //dimmer

  //example 5:
  //red       green     blue      pink      yellow    white
  //0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff, 0xff00ff, 0xff9f00, 0xffffff  //bright

  //example 6:
  //red       green     blue    
  //0xff0000, 0x00ff00, 0x0000ff //bright

  //example 7:
  //red       green     blue    
  //0x3f0000, 0x003f00, 0x00003f //dimmer
};

//how many colours have
const byte availablecolors = sizeof(colourarray) / sizeof(unsigned long);

adafruit_neopixel strip = adafruit_neopixel(ledcount, pin, neo_grb + neo_khz800);

//***********************************************************************************
void setup()

//***********************************************************************************

  for (byte colourselect = 0; colourselect < availablecolors; colourselect++)
  {
    //fill pixel array memory
    for (byte lednumber = 0; lednumber < ledcount; lednumber++)
    {
      strip.setpixelcolor(lednumber, colourarray[offset]);

      //the next index/offset colourarray[]
      offset++;
      offset = offset % availablecolors;
      
    }// end of for()

    //send pixel array memory leds
    strip.show();

    //give time view strip
    delay(wait);

    //*********************

    if (allowwalking == true)
    {
      offset = colourselect;
