Is anyone aware of an LPVO without a red or green center at low magnifications? I have red deficient vision and red is real tough. Green is worse since my world is greener. Black would be absolutely fine.

So illumination off?
Running an athlon argos 1-8 and my recommendation would be to look for something else... not a great optic by any measure. Red illumination as well but it's black if it's off. No parallax so unless you are at a specific distance, expect some blur

Believe there is a Vortex Razor gen II that's all black, unless you turn on the illumination.
Moa or Mil dot reticle. 1-6 or 8?

Not sure, but I think trijicon might have amber.

There are some uncommon brands that have blue. I can't remember off hand.
In general, no red and no green is called black (no illumination). Its universal.

Were you thinking of NcSTAR or some of the Chinese junk on amazon? I've seen them with blue, but nothing I would expect to hold zero

Osprey, which I don't think is junk (but not sure).

I'm not sure I understand the problem, since virtually all LPVOs have black reticles (either etched or wire). Some have illumination, some don't. If black is fine, just don't use the illumination if the color doesn't work for you.
OTOH, if you're asking for a good scope that DOES have illumination but in an alternative color, one member above mentioned
Trijicon. They make scopes with amber (yellowish) illumination. For example:

Might work really well for you in green woods. Note that this scope above has no ON/OFF though. It uses tritium and fiber optic to light up the dot. So it's basically always ON to one degree or another.
Here's the full list of their scopes that use amber illumination:
