Jameco seems to have a good assortment of colors, but their prices
aren't much better than digikeys.  Wire is one of those annoyingly
expensive items that is better to "find" than to buy.  (Sorta like
boxes.  Don't you hate it when after carefully minimizing the component
costs of your circuit to $4 of semiconductors, it turns out the box
costs $7 and the power switch is $2?  Sigh.)
