depending on the eggcrate material and size ( and color) you need. you could always do the old trick we use to do with white rc car wheels and that is to dye them. there are plenty of videos on youtube about dying rc car wheels. some might start talking about leaching into the tank but you could use food grade dyes if you are worried about it, but i would point out that the dye itself ( the color) is the same whether it is food color or rit dye, the difference is the other stuff in with the dye.

another thing to consider is no one ever mentions "leaching" with colored PVC, or the colored plastics on pumps skimmers, powerheads etc. all of these have some form of dye in them or some chemical that makes them have the color they do so dying eggcrate shouldnt really leach in my honest opinion. you could even wait till easter time next year and pick up some egg dying kits and have pastel eggcrate ROFL
