Changing Build Theme Help

So, I have built my computer, (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MgdCPs) and I am slightly worried about the theme.

My problem is if I ever wanted to change themes of my build (i.e. change from Red/Black with White to Blue/Black with White). My current motherboard, ASUS PRIME B350-Plus, has Red LEDs constant showing which hinders any flexibility with themes.

By the way my current PC is deemed Charmeleon -because of deep Red and Black theme- and I plan to paste a Trading Card on the SSD which shows through the panel.

My thought is if I ever wanted to change, to say Blastoise, I could just change the LED strip to Blue and replace the card on the SSD. And with a different Mobo (eyeing ASRock A320M Pro4) this would be possible without the clashing Red LEDs from the current Mobo.

 

Another Possible Solution. Can you turn off the Motherboard LEDS?

I would change the motherboard to something that is completely black or completely white because those red accents wont always look good

That is my thinking in the long run but as of now, the accents are completely unnoticeable in the dark. But this is also because I've been using Red LEDs. I will see if the Blue LEDs clash with red accents tonight
