A few years ago, US manufacturers standardized the color of the Romex sheathing on household electric cable. Now AWG 14 is white, 12 is yellow, and 10 is orange.
We have a summer cottage that doesn't have hollow walls, so all the electric wiring is exposed. We need to replace some of the old, crumbling wiring - which is all black - but on the very dark wood walls, it would look terrible to have any of the new colors, particularly yellow or orange. Is there anywhere left to buy a simple household electrical cable, like a sheathed solid-core NM 12-2, with either brown or black sheathing?
