Wanting flatter bars... no silver available? Really?

Ok, so 400 ish miles put on my commuter so far since the snow melted. The bars on my District bother me because of the angle of the grips. I'd like to go to a straighter handlebar but I can't find any in brushed aluminum. Anyone have any idea where to find a brushed aluminum flat ish bar?

These are not aluminum but they are well made, affordable, and shiny silver: Nitto B2500 Straight Handlebar 50cm CrMo 25.4 link
