    Coloured accessories

    I am trying to find a set of matching coloured accessories for a particular room. I have seen different coloured sockets and switches in the past, but can't remember where. I am talking about bright red or blue here. Ideally need a coloured FCU too, but I think that's a long shot. Any ideas?
