Fun challenge for all you pedal gurus - no cheating.
After discussing the board I use for my trio setup, we discovered that I basically fall back on the same "sounds" no matter which pedals I swap in / out, which highlighted how many variations of the same sound there is from different pedals. We thought it would be fun to try to make my current trio board but only in 1 colour of pedal (there was a similar thread on MR a while ago, but this time it's harder as you have to find the specific sounds rather than an open choice).
So, the pedals I currently have on the board are
Original Marshall blues breaker 1 pedal (black)
Analogman TS 808 (green)
Menatone Howie (white)
Sweet sound Mojovibe (swirly)
Aquapuss (blue)
(there is a TU-3 - but it's going to be hard to find tuners in a specific colour so I'll let that slip - bonus points if you can do it)
So the sounds are
1.) low drive / "tone boost"
2.) tube screamer
3.) dumble
4.) univibe
5.) short slap delay.
Build me a board with these sounds in either all black, all green or all red or all white I've got close but not finished it yet.
Rules, limited editions allowed, but no home brew or pedal rehousing.

White is probably the easiest colour to use. Never seen many green pedals that aren't TS-based.
wampler euphoria is green, not black, the wampler black 65 is black.
it's quite tough isn't it. (green and white are the ones I've got closest with)
good solution, that's not a bad white board,
just for the record, I'm not actually going to build these pedal board, it's just an interesting challenge that I thought was easy until I tried so I'm opening it up to you chaps.
Still, that plus the green Pitch Black @monquixote pointed out is a third of the way to an all green board. An actual tube screamer is green. I own a green delay ( Toadworks Redux). I'm sure there must be a green boost somewhere but the Rothwell Heartbreaker ( which can function as a boost) is very green so that will do for now. I had to google for a univibe but the Earthquaker Devices The Depths is a sort of bluey-green ( I have a weird confusion thing with blues and greens on monitors unless they are very strong shades). It might be someone can improve on that but an all green board should be doable.
No not all 1 colour, I can do a board with a different colour for each though........
Wah Weeping Demon - silver
Dirt - MXR Dist3 - red
More dirt - Bad monkey - green
Phase - MXR phase 90* - orange *Block or script....
Flanger - MXR microflanger - gun-metal grey
Delay - Boss DD6 - white.
All pedals I currently have....
