If your talking about the Tulle, it comes in those colors and many more. Purple, red, orange, red, gold, silver, and all shades of these.

I rec'd a package from Del of samples of many different colors of Tulle. In a word...RUN, don't walk and get yourself samples of your own at the fabric store. It's very inexpensive.
Someone mentioned that organza was silk screening material, and if that is correct, then organza and tulle are not the same. Tulle is a lighter gauge material and all the fibers are fused together making a sort of soft, but surprisingly rigid netting. You cannot separate the fibers as you can with organza.
Tulle has a soft sparkle that I think would be very attractive to fish, and the color selection almost looks like it was made for flyfishing *g*. I particularly like the silver.
Del sent a variety of flies using tulle. (or is it capital "T" because that's a brand name??) He uses it for winging material on dry flies, and also cleverly roped and wrapped the material to make the body for a soft hackle.
I thought the stuff was ideal for a set of brass wing burners I have had sitting idle for many years, and WOW! what great results. I double a small piece of fabric, insert into the wing burner, and presto, one of the nicest mayfly wings you'll ever see. Make another, tie in, and you're in business.
The tying-in of the wing-burned material goes really well. The material cinches down at the tie-in point, while the burned edges of material hold the wing shape perfectly. Because the wings are porous, they will not cause the fly to spin and twist the leader while you are casting.
I've also done some other magic things with tulle and a material that Mark Klemick sent that results in some fly tying magic. That post later...back to work I need to go.
