This stuff is also available from Harbour Industries, they make it in orange
and black as a standard. They will make most any color if you purchase the
min run. The coloring of silicone is very easy in the extrusion process.
Dupont has color strips that have just about any color combo you would want.
Ever notice the colors of silicone spark plug wires ?
Some folks sell them as "Racing Wire" and the may be yellow or red.

Ditto on use in AF.... and do believe it was available in 'black' with a red
or green
stripe down the middle of the 'outer' side....
