correct color speaker wire?

This is gonna sound dumb, but does anyone know of a source of wire that is properly color coded for speakers? I am talking the purple/white/gray/green plain and with stripe wires that are used in most speaker brands wiring harnesses.
Not thick wire, not generic wire that you tag/mark but actual colored wires.

I can not seem to find a vendor, e-bay, web or brick and mortar that can sell me even a short length of properly color coded wire.
I only need 5-6 feet of each of the eight color combinations.
I’ve had wiring harnesses that were shipped with stereos that had that much left over, but I don’t have them now.

Dropped by three local stereo shops today, and no dice.
Tons of clear, red, blue wire, but nothing with colors.
Any idea of anyone that sells it? I only need a little, but I am willing to buy rolls if I can get the right colors.
18-16 gauge wire.
Chris

Stinger? Tried www.stinger.com, German site. Got a link?

I am looking for eight colors though, if I can get them.

Sorry, Dutch with another site in Spain. I didn't load it completly as it was obvious that it wasn't what I want.

I see he meant stinger brand wire. None of the dozen plus local shops carry anything but red or blue wire. Guess no one sells proper speaker wire in colors that the makers use. I need to find someone with a leftover harness for a standard head unit.

Nice catalog. Still only three colors in any given size. Possibly four. Guess if I want eight I'm SOL.
Thanks a lot for the link though, lots of cool things to look at in there. I saved the PDF for future refrence.

We have the stinger speaker wire ssw16 in the four main colors white,grey,green,purple. Its 2 wire pos&neg. We get it from installation products but it is stinger wire. I didn't see it in the new cat but I'm sure if you call they have it. We also use a 9 conductor 18 gauge wire which I think both stinger and audiopipe carry as well. Main 4 colors pos+neg and a blue for turn on.

Hopefully they will sell it in fairly short rolls.
Just doing one project, I hope.
Thanks for all the help.

Before the new head unit and amp get here I will give them a call.
