Regarding matching screw and washer color, I found a beige plastic screw cover at Lowe's that provides a "washer" and conceals the screw head.  Just insert your screw into the hole, screw it into the case then flip the cover over the screw head.

Makes for a nice look.

You forgot the 2 most important tools when working on Amigas:
1.  Jack Daniels
2.  Bottle of aspirin, motrin, or whatever!
Oh, and band-aids!!!!!!

As suggested my Oldsmobile_Mike, I think we should list the tools one needs for Amiga repair, restoration and modification.  I'll start with:

Screw drivers Tiny, small, regular (flat and phillips) and a torx for THOSE screws!
Dremel Tool with cutting wheel, grinder, and polishing wheels.
Hammer (nuff said)
Slow Drill (like using a hex drill bit in a Black & Decker elctric screw driver
Regular power drill (prefer cordless)
Multimeter with continuity tested
Led headlamp
Soldering Iron + solder sucker + braid + fine wire (insulated, wirewrapping type)
Hobby knife (Exacto)
Small Crescent wrench
Small tweasers
Small clamps (Kelly's or similar)
Hot glue gun
Orbital sander
