Also on average what does a blue LED draw? Basically how many Blue LEDs could you use before you reach 10ma?
You decide how much current to give them, based on the resistor size you use in series with it. But at 10mA, you are not going to get more than 1 LED unless you use a larger resistor and thus have the LED be less bright. Some "bright" LED's produce their rated intensity at a forward current of 20mA or more, sometimes even in the hundreds of mA for very bright LED's (although this is extremely rare).
