Not Urgent: Need Presta tubes with black valves

So forever and ever I rolled a set of Campagnolo wheels from the 90s and they're silver (polished alloy.)
This matched up with everything Campagnolo: Brakes, brake levers, shifters, derailleurs, handlebar, seatpost etc.
Everything was "silver." All of my wheels from this era of course are that color.

Now with this new ride and its Shimano 105 gruppo, everything is black. Everything mentioned before, but all black, even the presta valves. How dare they give me a taste of this fashion? I cannot bear to go back to Continental tubes with their gauche silver valves. What do I do? Only definitively black valve I can find is Pirelli, but while I'm vain, I am also cheap, and won't pay $15+ for when $7 works fine.

Any suggestions welcome, whether you know of some regular old tubes with that look; whether I should definitely get over this; maybe paint the valves; do you suffer from this level of fashionista; etc.
