Searching for solid color wire

I can't think of any material other than solid plastic that will have a solid color throughout when its cut (other than the colors of the metal itself). You can try aluminum, titanium, or niobium wire which when anodized forms a surface color but will still be the base metal color on the ends after its cut.

Aluminum is by far the most cost efficient material and is available in the most colors. Something to keep in mind is that the coating is ceramic and will form stress cracks if its bent in tight radiuses. Either don't bend it much or anodize it after its bent. If you want to anodize it yourself I suggest using titanium or niobium since those anodizer setups are much easier and safer. I got my anodizer(titanium and niobium) from a company called reactive metals studio. It cost me about $400 and has lasted many years, I have also seen plans available on the net for making your own anodizer. With titanium you can heat it with a torch to get many beautiful colors (check out www.jensenknives.com, in the knife section for some examples) if you want to order aluminum wire already colored, one of the advertisers carries some interesting stuff for the hobbyist: East West DyeCom.

Good luck!
