Used to get mine from Merlin. Never had a coloured spoke fail in anything other than my clumsy rounding with a naff key - ignore the above

spline drive made coloured ones. I had them on road wheels that were used through winters and never seized or crumbled. Compared to DT alloys they were like night and day. As good if not better than DT brass through the winter. Hard to believe but thats what i found! The threads of the spokes were smeared with anti seize before fitting each nipple but externally they were like new for years.

You'll be lucky. DT do green ones, but they're nowhere near that. I suspect you're probably looking at a custom ano job - sorry!
