Aero brake levers with BROWN hoods

Are there brown hoods out there for early Shimano aeros, or did they ditch brown along with the non-aero routing? I really like the first 600 and 105 aeros, but the brown Superbe levers I have on my Nishiki really tie the room together. Or is there a compatible other-brand hood that might fit?

Nitpicking.

I'm not sure, but I really want a pair of those early Dia-Compe aero levers with gum hoods. They look so nice and pretty.

I've never seen brown Shimano aero. It doesn't mean they didn't make them, but I've never seen them.

I don't where you can get hoods separately, though.
