Things to remember - for #include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>
Adafruit_NeoPixel strip(LED_COUNT, LED_PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
Note: ensure correct device/part is declared (for NEO_GRBW or NEO_GRB). The data size is different and the outcome will be impacted.

pixels.setBrightness(255); //. <— 255 is brightest; 0 is the lowest
pixels.show();
pixels.clear();
There is command to clear all LED, but below code to change color of all LEDs.
for(int i = 0; i < pixels.numpPixels(); i++){
pixels.setPixelColor(i, RedValue, GreenValue, BlueValue);
}
pixels.show();
