Color Coded Vacuum Lines (Hard Plastic)

Is there a source for these hard plastic vacuum lines with the color coded tracers and/or different main colors? i am referring to the lines for engine vacuum. seems like the mercedes only has white. on my '87 i have replaced some of the plastic lines with white or black, but it would be nice to have the correct original colors.

according to the epc replacement is only white. what about using perm markers to color the ends or such.

ok, makes sense. the issue with junkyard replacements is that they are as brittle as the ones they are meant to replace. plus there's not many of these cars in junkyards up here. the marker is actually a good idea. the color-coding becomes less and less of a concern the more you work on the car an begin to memorize the schematic.
