    If you can't find what you need, try looking at stuff made by BMX manufacturers. These days, everything in bmx is made a about 5 thousand different colour ways...

    Some of the nuts/bolts should be usable on MTB, just make sure you check what you're buying.

    I get a lot of stuff from taiwan, as they sell cheap kcnc stuff on ebay.

    Other than that just colour code your bike.. for eg:

    My bike is a 2008 focus superbud, and its white and black and have decided to put blue bits on it, like kcnc jockey wheel and hope skewers.

    Watch out though, quite a lot of coloured bolts are aluminium, no good for structural applications (and bikes don't have many nonstructural bolts). Titanium is available anodised but not in many colours, gold and blue are the common ones.
