can you buy a standard qr to match a front maxle

I ended up with a pipedream scion, and just shelled out for some new Reba RLTs.
Very annoying this QR issue, it will really bug me not having matching QRs, especially as I bought some nice blue hope ones to match the hubs before going 15mm QR.
Perhaps I can alter my question a bit and ask if there are any blue anno 15mm skewers.
Or is there a rear hub conversion I can do to get matching skewers?
I know it is sad, but this kind of thing bothers me.

Re:
Nice frame and similar to my old Kinesis Decade in looks, as for the rear wheel it will be a standard 9mm Quick Release, so the answer to converting your hub is no, sorry to say. I can't find a Blue 15mm Rockshox Maxle Light, you could always ask Rampage to anodise the front lever on the Maxle to match your existing rear.

My rear is standard 9mm, but it's a hope and I think a conversion is possible. Probably not worth the effort to get a matching skewer though, but anodising one might. May have to see if I can get a donor one - thanks for the idea, oh and nice looking bike you have there. I think mine will need a black crank eventually, but going to start with what I have in 'stock' and go from there.
Pretty sure that the maxle screws in and then has an expanding wedge to help secure it. I think the skewer that activates this wedge is activated by more or less a QR.
Thinking about it, the only issue may be the cut out that the QR slots into when the lever is closed.

Re:
Split the bike 12 months ago, reanimation now has the frame. Needed to sell for a Full Susser, all I've got left is the rear Hope Mono, the DMR V12's and the rotors. Decided to move onto something a little more aggressive.
You can convert Hope Pro II's to 10mm Bolt Thru and buy a 10mm Rear Axle.
