Colored Delrin (Acetal)

Does anyone know of a source for colored Delrin? 1"dia. round stock.
White is standard and I have some black but I cant find any reference to any other colors. I have found it is very easy to machine and makes excellent trim pieces and reel seat bushings. I need a red or bronze shade for the rod Im making.
Im using a rootbeer colored Graphite_USA blank. Ive considered hardwood and staining it
and I know a lot of builders use wood for trimming but I would really like to stick with the Delin or similiar material.

Called my son, he says dyed Delrin is used the the Paintball industry, also some of my guitar picks are colored Delrin. Maybe some of the poker chips might also be Delrin.

It would be awesome to get thin sheets of delrin in different colors, different thicknesses. I just did a search and didn't come up with much in terms of colored stuff. If possible let me know if you come upon some Tom.
