Anybody have a source for color coded vacuum hoses as in the green ones on my 95 Cab? Sure, I could paint them, but I like to keep the operation as original as possible. What's the story on these silicone vacuum hoses on the market? Yeah, I know this is a picky little post.

I could not say, I replaced all my hoses with samco 3mm heavy wall silicone a few years back.
I don't expect to replace them anytime soon.
Most if not all of the OEM hose was dry and brittle.
I found [I think] it was 3 meter's worth on Ebay. You might have to shop around but it's there if you want it.
Roughly 20 bucks US for around 10 feet, enough to redo all the engine lines with plenty to spare.

Here is the finished project, the blue stands out:
