Is the old Micarta that was made using asbestos just come in one color?

I have only seen and/or heard of the white (that yellows over time), but did that formula of Micarta come in other colors?

AFAIK - and I know pretty much about it, white was the
one and only color.

To add to the confusion, Westinghouse called all their reinforced
plastics Micarta, and there were other white ones, but they were
based on a different resin.

The 'old yellow Micarta' as we seem to be calling it today, was one
specific kind of reinforced plastic different than most of
Westinghouse's other Micarta products.

It wasn't lamminated either.

Not to take this thread off course, but has anyone heard any recent news from "scdiveteam" about the yellow micarta ferrules he was offering for sale?
