Problem with colors

Hi!
I just setup my ambilight system and now I having a lot of problems to adjust the colors.

I'm running 233 WS2812 LEDs, with a power supply of 20A.
I'm always have white color as red and I try to calibrate the system
I'm using to connect one stripe to another the no soldering connectors that I bought at Aliexpress.
I'm now thinking in solder the stripes, instead using this connectors.
Anyone here already had the same problem?

My 2812 strips are GRB (I think) instead of RGB. Have that set?
May not be the issue, but if you've only tested full white so far.?

Other than that calibration should take it out by reducing red power.
Not all strips are created equal. How red are they?

I'm already solve the problem. I'm was using that Chinese no soldering connectors, and the power wasn't going through stripe led. After soldering everything together, it worked like a charm

Awesome. Good to know about those connectors. Haven't used them but will steer clear of them now.
