I'm looking specifically for light almond colored UPB dimmer switches but
not having any luck. Anyone know if they exist?

Thanks

Do you mean "light almond" as in "almond, the color that's lighter than
ivory" or as in "a shade of almond that is lighter than other almond
switches"?

If it's the former, you can get almond UPB switches here:
http://www.digitalavnew.com/UPBprod23.htm

The pricier PCS brand are available at HomeControls and Worthington
too.

Unfortunately I mean the latter ("light almond" a shade lighter than
almond).

Thanks anyways.

The only switches that have that fine a range of color selection are those
from Lutron's RadioRA line. You can get danged near any color.

Tragically, however, they don't eff'ing sell replacement fascia. So when,
and DO mean WHEN, you or your painter mucks one up you're faced with total
replacement.

Otherwise they're absolutely rock-solid in their automation functions. Not
cheap, but plenty of colors and THEY WORK. After more than a decade of
futzing around with X-10 I have to say I'm delighted with how well these
work.

Bill -

Lutron announced at CES I believe, a new style RadioRA dimmer that is
field-colorizable.
