I am about to clip some white speaker cable to the side of a white door
frame.

Obviously, I could use white cable clips.
From the earlier thread about clip sizes I need ones suitable for 1.0mm
T&E.

For some reason nobody seems to stock white clips - presumably there is no
demand.
At one time you could buy white T&E and white clips in the sheds.
No sign of that now, nor at Screwfix or Toolsatan.

So was there a trend at one time to surface mount white T&E but fashion
has changed?

Cheers

White T&E cable seems a lot less common nowadays hence white clips not
needed.
You rarely see cable run on the surface these days, the only reason for it
to be white I suppose.

https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TC58W.html 1.0 and 1.5mm T&E

most sizes (apart from 10 and 16 mm T&E) appear to be available in grey and white

They do seem less common, but I'm sure I've seen bags in my local
hardware store, and of course Ebay e.g.

Don't use them outdoors because they fail due to UV light.

LSZH T&E can be (maybe all is?) white, the sparkies seem to hate fitting
it as they think it makes them look amateur ...

It's not using evenly spaced buckle clips that makes them look amateur.

Buckle clips? I always assumed they were no longer compliant.

Bit strange as many telephone cables are white.
Is there a problem making white plastic?
Maybe one needs to dip each one in white paint first!

Looking back at my original post I forgot to say that they are available
for not very much on line - Amazon, eBay etc.

So I can get them - it just led me to ponder that they always used to be
available in the sheds but no longer.
