the alpine III spokes is only available from madison in silver
We buy our DT spokes from Rosebikes, they have all the lengths in all the colours. Yes, they're overkill for most purposes, but only 5p each over Comps

sapim race or comps will work fine. Alpine III are fine spokes but I am not sure the extra expense is warranted as 73kg is not alot and a fixed wheel, wheel is very stiff. Also the alpine III spokes is only available from madison in silver.
I tend to use triple butted spokes on higher spoke count wheels that are taking a significant load. 73 kg is not a significant load for a spoked wheel.
