Default Is there such a thing as a WHITE FLOPPY?

Ive got a P150 case, and Ive ordered 3 Floppy's now to fit it, all advertised as 'WHITE' yet all turned up as Beige/Ivory/Creme etc etc.

2 were from eBAY and one from a very well known modding site who have since changed the advert on their site after I pointed out the WHITE FDD wasn't WHITE and who I will reveal the address of if they don't give me compensation for decieveing me LOL.

Seriously though, does anyone anywhere on this planet actually make WHITE FDD drives? They must be like the white Rhino or the White Bengal Tiger.

Me and spray cans shouldn't mix, I used to be a Graffer and I don't wanna start that again, first it'll be a white FDD, then next thing you know after 5 pints of guiness I'll be spraying a mural on the Northampton Crown Court buildings.

Don't be a wuss, break out a spray can cos what you want don't exist.

Nope I doubt you will find a white Floppy/DVD/CD drive/bezel, as when in production of plastics/moulding a slight discolouration occurs due to the crystals used at the meltdown operation stage hence it is more likely to discolour white than darker colours.

Well it is a stupid case ... and it is NOT white but Pearly white ... which, does not exist.
