Default OT(ish) - white cable clips

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!

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?


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.
