I could only find them in brown. Wife would not go for that.

Do you have a real electrical supply convenient to you? not a hardware
store or big box. They will know what you're talking about. BTW you
are looking for a "back wire" not "backstab" receptacle.

back wire = good; has the little clamps under the screws to hold a
straight wire in

backstab = teh suck

side wire = good, but you have to loop the wires around the screws.

You forgot to mention that you can't trust backstab
outlets, they're real weasels. I don't like working
around them.
