Sorry, I missed that detail.
The other thing you missed is that you keep saying mAh
The 23 mAh is typical for common LEDs.
LED mAh varies somewhat, generally by -color-.
pick a resistor that kicks the LED with 500 mAh
mAh - stands for milliamp hours - it is a way to describe the capacity of a battery, it has nothing to do with LEDs. If you refer to the current through an LED is is measured in mA.
Also the mA DOES NOT vary with colour, it is the forward volt drop that varies with colour.
