Kool stops are orange, so maybe they leave orange marks?
Sheldon thinks they are the best, so maybe give them a try.

Suckas be gone, anyone ever heard of Google up in these parts?
Kool Stop website
Looks like all sorts of flavors beyond black and, er, salmon.

plasmatic spanish fly pads are clear... they never left marks on my ground rear rim that i use for trials... they only come in maggie or V variety, but you could probably mod them to fit fine on some road calipers. trialsin.com and webcyclery carry them.

Salmon or orange they sure look black after you use them a bit. They're also very effective, especially noticable in the wet.
