+
+This plugin provides tools to build LED effects that set the entire keyboard to
+a single color. For show, and for backlighting purposes.
+
+## Using the extension
+
+To use the plugin, include the header, declare an effect using the
+`LEDSolidColor` class, and tell the firmware to use the new effect:
+
+```c++
+#include <Kaleidoscope-LEDEffect-SolidColor.h>
+
+static LEDSolidColor solidRed(160, 0, 0);
+
+void setup() {
+  Kaleidoscope.use(&solidRed);
+
+  Kaleidoscope.setup();
+}
+```
+
