Anybody know of somewhere that sells white cable ties (4.8mm by 200 or 300mm), that are actually white?

Come across a new install with tray work fixed across a wall above a door way with plastic zipe ties is the a regulation that states metal zip ties should be in situe ?
I just got told that under 17th you can no longer put cables ties in a DB
