Are there any companies out there who make a good quality (preferably double butted) colored spokes??? I'd really like a nice blue anodized color like I9 or Chris King

I did come across cnSpoke whom makes a good looking blue spoke as well as many other options (http://cnspoke.com/products/spoke_options/option.htm) ...Anybody ever hear of them and/or used them before?

Most quality spokes are made of stainless steel which cannot be anodized. Black SS spokes are made using an oxide process, or plating followed by an oxide process, either way no blue.

There are some titanium spokes available in colors, including blue and at the high end of the range some pre-built wheels use aluminum spokes, but I don't know that they're available separately and in any case these require special hubs.

If you want colored spokes, either go for the titanium spokes or consider painting SS spokes.
