What's wrong with the metal colored ones? Don't they properly support your wheels? Sorry I just don't understand why anyone would care about the color of their spokes. The sport is not a cheap one, seems there are a lot better ways to spend one's money.
Just my opinion.

I think you can also get "tie-dye" spokes in titanium, if you want to add color
