Hey guys, I want to wire up six red leds and six green leds to a switch so that I can flip the switch one way and have red, another way and have green and a third way to have both which should be yellow.  My leds are like this.  Red = 2.6 VDC at 28mA and Green = 2.1 VDC at 25 mA.  Now, I figure that I can wire each strip of each color in series and get about 2.1 volts to each led without worrying about resistors, but when I have them both on at the same time then they would need to be in parallel because they'd each get 1 volt if not.  So, how could I go about doing this?  Thanks.

I think this should work:
