Colored Solder Wire

I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good place to get silicone soldering wire in different colors without having to pay a ridiculous price. I've looked everywhere and haven't found any good sources so please help me and just let me know where you got your wire.

Thanks

Adafruit sells 2m of 30 Gauge for $0.75, and 2m of 26 Gauge for $0.95 for so if you were to get multiple colors it wouldn't be too much . You would just have to deal with their ridiculous shipping costs... :roll:

Exactly why I went with the Striveday wire from Amazon. $13 for 4 rolls of wire that are 10m each. $9 for shipping on $0.75 is insane.

I got something like this:
Made a few mistakes while learning to solder but I'm on GBZ #3 and still using the first spool I bought.

Is that PVC coated or silicone?

Ah yes, sorry I missed that qualification in your post.
