Does anyone know the color values for the blade colors like DVA, PO, SRD, VA? If I get a diamond saber (which I’m mostl likely doing since rush shipping isn’t as expensive as it was during the holidays) is like to know how to get the true colors offered, I’ve been playing with the launcher and it looks like I would have to eyeball it, and that would bug me immensely

You're probably going to have to eyeball it anyway... at least a little.
I'd use those settings as a starting place. The LEDs used can vary a bit from batch to batch, so the same SRD setting might look completely different on two different sabers.

Also, I'd try some lower power settings, with the same ratios, just to see what they do. Sure, brighter is often better. But my go-to example here is a Violet flicker that I made that has a peak RGBA value of 25, 0, 50, 18 (60ms PW, or 16.667 Hz). Yes, it's about 36% the power of a single LED, and about 12% of the max of what those three LEDs are capable of, but I like the way it looks.  

Have yet to try this on a RGBW setup, as my wife isn't a fan of flickering blades... Anyway, the effect that the lower power on the LEDs gives it looks (to me at least) to be emitting higher in the UV spectrum than it actually is.

It's also nice to have a setting I like that doesn't blast through neighbors blinds like a searchlight when I want to go outside and practice in the middle of the night.

Just to offer another possible data point, I tried to decipher the colors recently using the launcher and other sources.  My extremely verbose and possibly useless write up is here:

As mentioned above, tweaking the settings from the presets to suit your own preferences is fun too.  Like you, however, I wanted to at least attempt to find out what the standard settings were.  Take it for what you will.  Enjoy your Diamond saber when you get it, I've already ordered two more!
