Default Does Anyone Make GRAY Illuminated Wall Switches?

Thanks so far, everyone. Negative on Pass & Seymour. Negative on Decora.
And I'm not going to paint a clear switch - there's no way it would
stand up to repetitive handling over the years.

I wanted gray in a bank of three switches where two of them control my
outside lights, and illuminated would make it easy to see when an
outside light has been left on when closing the house down for the
night. Looks like I have the choice of gray non-illuminated or a more
traditional color. The wall is a light green and I thought gray might
look quite attractive, but white (where lighted switches are fairly
routine) might have to suffice.

It's sad being on the leading edge of decorating technology. I
appreciated the input.

If you painted the back of a clear switch, it would not be subject to
handling.
