You can buy a ConBee 2, look for RGB lights in their list of supported Zigbee devices and then plug the ConBee to a RPI running Home Assistant.

That looks like exactly what I want, thank you! Do you know of the ConBee is open source?
philips hue (and many others) use zigbee, which means you could set up a self hosted instance of something like home assistant and get a zigbee adapter. That way you can control the zigbee lights with open source and self hosted software, and you also have the option of keeping everything entirely local if privacy is a concern
You'll want to look at z wave or ZigBee. Then control with home assistant.
Hue is I recall is ZigBee so you can control with home assistant.
If you connect them with motherboard rgb sync header you might be able to adjust them
