This module consists of a 5mm RGB LED and three 150Ω limiting resistors to prevent burnout. Adjusting the PWM signal on each colour pin will result in different colours.
This is a DIP 3 Color LED Module. Through the PWM adjusting, three primary colours can be mixed to obtain different colours.
Connect the red pin (R) on the KY-016 to pin 11 on the Arduino. Blue (B) to pin 10, green (G) to pin 9 and ground (-) to GND. Notice that you do not need to use limiting resistors since they are already included on the board.

The colors do not merge well. All you see are three different rings of three colors. Also, do not see expected variation when controlling intensity through PWM.
Only plus is that it is cheap

Good, can be directly connected to Raspberry Pi. But its expensive
