Charcoal Black, Mustard Yellow, and Relish Green are the final ones you need

Is there a blue one as well? Or am I thinking of Game Boy Pocket/Color?

I think the Red could be...but not too sure, we just called them "Play It Loud" colors in the States, same cases too just like your clear one.
Green is hard to find I'd say, Black I would say it'll have to be in 2nd place.
Nintendo used to call the red one "Ketchup Red" heh

They're all moderately rare. I see Green and Black and Clear on ebay the most often oddly enough. I'd say Yellow and Red are the rarest on ebay... but that doesn't really reflect it very accurately. Most of the ones I see are overpriced too. Good luck on finishing them. I myself am working on finishing my GBL collection 4/7 after tonight I hope :)
BTW I found this site after many months of searching I'm sure you'd find it at least interesting for a quick glance :)

Awesome site, a few is missing, like the Pink GBA "Fushia" but pretty accurate I'd say

Still got my clear one. It's a rather nice box that it came in.
I also seem to recall that they were at some point released in a package that included plastic sunglasses. (!)

I had a Yellow one back in the day. My brother 'threw it away'. I'm pretty sure he just sold it.

Well it wouldn't be so bad...maybe put some Dan Hibiki stickers on it...give it a Street Fighter Alpha feel...ah hell..who am I kidding? That GBA really cuts your self-esteem down
