Hi,
actually I've always thought only full-silver, silver-red, silver-black, and silver-blue (to me even rather a light blue than turquoise) had been available from Avid, but everything else - I'm sure here in the forum I have seen once even a pair in Rasta-color scheme - was rather anodized later.

Just this Pic from 1995 is listing red, blue, black and violet


and this is from the 96 brochure, I think also in the Archive or at least Forum here


and this is from a bike parts catalog from 1996, says silver, black, green, turquoise, red


So, maybe even if red, black, all-silver seem to be the most common ones green and violet had been also officially offered.
And maybe they had been just not sure if their light blue variant should be called blue or turquoise?



The Tri-align brakes, of course a good fit to the levers, came also as option in 3D Violet and Turquoise by Avid (pic from 1994)


And I came once across a pair of brakes in 3DV I would say those should have been original.

Still I think getting hold of a pair of Levers in 3DV might be not very easy if you want this, because i have hardly seen anyone ever.

Thanks a lot mate ye I think the ones I seen were
Re anodised there on here but can't find them for the life of me it was a pic of parts crank derailleur etc but I never knew they did green or violet and the brake callipers you would have thought they would come in same colours and visa versa but obviously not so
