How Important Is Pedal Color To You?

Some people just never grow up, I guess?
Factories color coding their pedals since they used a unified design template (like Boss) or because their stuff was visually similar to other things from competitors that customers were likely to use made functional sense. Just for visibility.
But special editions? Screw that. Not a cent more.

I care in the sense that I think some pedals look fantastic and some look horrible and that if there is a special edition that looks really cool I’m interested if I was going to buy the pedal anyway…. But in the end it’s the sound.

Functionality is ALWAYS priority number one.
Given that, IF I have choices, then aesthetics might be considered.
I have bought pedals (few - but I have) because they were simply "cool" in some way, that had no more or less functionality than any other pedal I own. But that was done consciously.
Our Drummer always asks if I have the "red" pedal. LOL

Most important for me is that I can tell what the settings on the knobs are in a darkly lit stage. So any color is fine, as long as the knobs contrast with that.

I have absolutely bought pedals because easy to see and adjust live. Garagetone Dleay for example.
That is very important!
I love the Neunaber pedals...sound absolutely fantastic. I bought a few different ones, color is fine etc. They then release the same pedals in white and they looked 100 times better (to me) and I was like no way...lol. I would have bought white if I had a choice at the time....then I am thinking, do I buy these pedals again? I didn't but dang those white ones are cool...lol.

With Lovepedals, differently colored editions of a model usually have a slightly tweaked circuit.
I have three Zendrives and they're somewhat different from each other, both in tone and feel.
PS:I too have a couple of the Neunabers in black, and like the look of the white.
But I'm not gonna replace 'em just for cosmetics.

Monochromatic pedalboards are a thing. I’ve seen folks rocking all black, red or all blue etc pedalboards.

I want color variety, but no yellows, purples, baby-blues, seafoam-greens or pinks (unless someone would kindly sell me a dod Thrash Master cheap!).
Plenty of other colors and plenty of brands/models to choose from,,,,,,so why settle, unless one truly doesn't care at all which is just fine too.
