All that I've ever seen are 15mm clear red.

Got a chance to look at one under a magnifier this weekend (from the
inside).  Facinating:  like a miniature volcano.  The suck in comes to a
sharp point, with a micro thin hole thru the center.  Very different
looking than an "arc thru", with a relatively large hole that looks
burned on the perimiter.
