so maybe it's some kind of thought in the subconscious of all pedal builders, Bass pedals=brown.

a colour that befits a group of people mostly happy to stand there motionless from the neck down (doing the turkey nod from the neck up) and supply root notes whilst real musicians get the colourful pedals and the chicks
