In the 1936-7 Bulgin catalogue, the pages illustrating their range of 2-pin and 3-pin mains connectors says that they were available in Black, Walnut, and Mahogany. On the other hand, the technical data pages says they were available in "Any colour or grain of bakelite". Apart from a white 2-pin connector of the type having a body resembling a BC adaptor plug that I once saw at an exhibition, used as a telephone plug for a white stateroom telephone of the original Queen Mary, I have only ever seen Bulgin connectors in Black.
