You could replace the leds with a different color, but it is a surface mount led and difficult to solder.
Also possible to replace the 10 ohm resistor (R4) on the tinypilot hat with something with more resistance. Try 30, 50 or 100 ohms, it should dim the light. Cutting or removing it will have no backlight which is maybe better?
The next version of the hat has an onboard arduino which (among other tasks) can adjust the backlight brightness. There is also a photo resistor to turn the light off if it is not needed.
