I'm fairly sure I once saw one that was orange, too.

I have a bunch of thin AUI cables which mostly came from Suns, and they
come in two colours. One is a light grey, about the colour of your
typical off-white plastic computer case (like one of the lunchbox-size
Suns, say, an IPX or a Classic, or since this is port-vax rather than
port-sparc, about the colour of the flat top metal surface of a
table-on-wheels BA123 or the paint on a DESTA I have handy). The other
is a darker grey, pretty close to the colour of the front plastic
snap-on cover to a BA123, or the painted metal piece where the disk
lights and switches mount, behind the door at the lower left front.
The original Sun cables are all the light colour; the darker ones are
marked, on the wire's jacket,
HELIX G0901-1 78 OHM MINI-TRANSCEIVER 6/C 28 AWG & 3/C 24 AWG TYLE CL2 (UL) 75°C OR AWM 2919 LOW VOLTAGE COMPUTER CABLE
for what that may be worth.
