To edit the colors of the Nintendo boot screen in SM64DS, you need to have arm9.bin from a SM64DSe-patched EUR rom and a hex editor. To get the arm9.bin, you can simply open the patched rom with NSMBe and extract the bin file. Once you open the bin file with the hex editor, replace color values at these addresses with the color value that you want. Alternatively, you can use NSMBe itself to hex edit the arm9.bin file.

Note: To convert colors to RGB5 use this tool (Credits to Gota7).

Graphics	Offset	Original Color (RGB5)	Note
Fade In	0x1D84	FF 7F	The initial color the boot screen fades into. Only white (FF 7F) or black (00 00) works.
Nintendo Logo	0x8D502-0x8D51B	BF 00, DF 08, 3F 11, 5F 1D, 9F 25, BF 29, 1F 36, 7F 42, DF 52, 3F 5F, 3F 67, 9F 6F, BF 7B	The Nintendo logo is made up of multiple colors. I would recommend including the last five or six colors as the background color, as they are the light colors of the logo.
Copyright Text	0x8D4FE	0D 05	"©2004-2005 Nintendo"
Background	0x8D51C-0x8D51F	FF 7F	Most of the background except the portion around the copyright text.
Area around Copyright Text	0x8D4E2-0x8D4E5	FF 7F, B6 4A	Surrounds copyright text. The second color can be used as the copyright text color.

Here are some examples of an edited title screen:
