Some Shimano blue cable housing (in DIY kits) also exists, but like the Jagwire, its blue is fairer. I may be "stuck" choosing black for shift and brake housings and going with a darker blue bar tape, which I've checked out in person already. I have some rough Photoshopping to do...
Maybe consider black and blue housing then mix and match bar tape for the right affect?

I assume you checked scamazon, I know fairly often somebody says they found what they were looking for there, not sure about the quality though.....
