...have been thinking about some units, but don't know what others may use...don't know if the ones I'm thinking about would be too bright, although I suppose I could always dim them...also, just to mention, lighting "scenes" (?) would mainly be set as one-color "washes"...

 

...couple Chauvet 4Bar TRI units...

...or four Blizzard Puck RGBAWs (RedGreenBlueAmberWhite), mounted on 2 tripods, 2/tripod...

Best bet is to try various colors etc... at a place that sells lighting (Guitar Center/Sam Ash maybe) and shoot a quick video or pics of you under those lights. Give yourself an idea what colors work well with you....

Mostly I gig with just me and a guitarist.

 

I have a colourchange LED striplight, it's about 2 meters long.

We use a plain backcloth and sit the striplight on the floor in front of us. The light illuminates us in colour, and projects our shadows onto the backcloth. it's really simple but creates a really nice ambience.

 

We play a lot of gigs in marquees (weddings, dinners etc) so for this kind of thing we don't use a backcloth, just the side of the marquee. For classy, low-key events we have it set just on a kind of pinky/red hue, for more exciting, rockier gigs the colours will change.

 

It was about £180 and I wouldnt be without it now :)
