Coloured Lamp Circuit Signals

Clarification and a Suggestion for Coloured Lamps
In the most recent friday facts (#388) coloured lamps were announced, with a graphic showing the manual input of rbg values into a lamp to make a custom colour.
My friend and I started brainstorming on using circuit signals to create a video as we want to at some point create a circuit abomination within factorio, however the potential circuit conditions for colour changes has been left ambiguous leaving us to made some assumptions, 2 of which are important.
Assumptions made about lamp circuitry:
I'm primarily making this post to have addressed and/or suggest that the input signals for coloured lamps to be changeable due to the freedom it grants in the creation of circuitry abominations, as the former assumption made is much more reasonable to assume will be implemented.
TL;DR

Assumptions made about lamp circuitry:
- 3 separate signals are responsible for red, green, and blue values
- the input signals for each colour can be changed, similar to roboports

TL;DR
- Making customisible inputs for coloured lamps would be nice for a circuit abomination I want to make with a friend (can't really make video play on lamps without this)
