I will ask my local manufacturer on the availability of other colours. He did some in yellow and red when we were testing so white shouldn't be an issue. Black is traditional in Shockstop, although I think another manufacturer had a range of colours.
In the shot above is the GB Hiduminium brakes, the GB Maes bars with steel engraved ferrule, the GB spearpoint stem, the Simplex gear lever, the Simplex Type Tour de France dual bottle holder (chromed) with a set of Ottussi bottles, a watch mount and a pocket watch, and the rubber cable ties. Since then I have swapped tyres to the gumwalled Panaracer Paselas, and brake pads to Fibrax Raincheater pads, not because it will ever be ridden in the wet, it is so the brakes work a little better and are quiet on the Dunlop Stainless Special Lightweight rims. These pads are only suitable for steel rims.
All but the brakes and the bottles have come out of England, so I have been propping up the English economy.
