If I did the 3 ups, would I be able to use 4 blue, and 3 white, for a total of 21 emitters per pendant. But drive the whites at a lower % to get the color I want?

you dont drive the LED's at a lower % you'd be using the controller to dim the leds to the color you wanna get.

Yes that is one way to get what you want. Something you will want to consider is # of LEDs a driver can power, this is based on the voltage limit on the driver / power supply, which had to be greater than or equal to the total of all of the Vf of the LEDs you want to use on that specific string.

Choose your LEDs (both number and color of each), your pendant configuration, and let that dictate your driver choice.
