###The PiBorg LedBorg is an ultra-bright RGB LED board for the Raspberry Pi.
PiBorg has its own driver, so you don't need to drive it manually.
If you want a much, much wider range of colours, though, you can drive it manually using softPwm in WiringPi. The pin assignments for this are as follows:
WiringPi pin 0: Red LED WiringPi pin 2: Green LED WiringPi pin 3: Blue LED
This is easy using WiringPi in Python:
import wiringpi2 as wiringpi
wiringpi.wiringPiSetup()
wiringpi.softPwmCreate(0,0,100)
wiringpi.softPwmCreate(2,0,100)
wiringpi.softPwmCreate(3,0,100)
# Purple!
wiringpi.softPwmWrite(3,100) # Full Blue
wiringpi.softPwmWrite(0,100) # Full Red
wiringpi.softPWMWrite(2,0) # No Green
