Ion solution to dual random effect

I have been researching  this effect and each time something similar is explained, they only deal with one parameter. My idea has two parameters.

I am looking to make a fire type effect with multicolored LED fixtures. I need to take 5 units and randomly have each at differing percentages of intensity as well as having each a random color from yellow to deep red.

The Intensity levels can be picked before (50, 75,100) and so can the representative colors in palettes (red, orange-red, amber). But the rate at which the colors will transition is slower than that of the intensity changes. Not a flickering flame.

Any suggestions as to how to tie these two randomized effects together?

    I don't think there is any need to "tie these effects together" - just write 2 absolute effects (one for colours, one for intensities) with random timing as appropriate, and then run both effects.

    Well the absolute multi-intensity effect works, but it seems that using the color palettes in an absolute effect does not. I saved five different colors in palettes, checked that they exist and work, then tossed them into an absolute effect and...

    nothing...

    No changes are registering on the channels that I have selected and sent to that effect (not even just the hue and saturation). Again, the intensity effect on the same channels works. But even if I just turn on the color change absolute effect I get no changes on the channel tiles on the board. Ergo, nothing is happening. So I can't even begin to experiment with how these two effects will play together because one refuses to work.

    Are there problems with palettes in Absolute effects? The video, in particular, shows this should be very easy.
