We apologize if "your" specific color is not available. Each color has an almost infinite number of shades and we cannot carry all of them in inventory. We have selected the most popular colors and remind you that these beads originated with the celebration of Mardi Gras in the South where they are thrown off the parade floats (hence the name "throw beads"). At less than 5 cents per necklace they are a bargain, meant for fun, not to match any specific colors or to wear to an inaugural ball.
