Light switch toggles and electric outlets in different colors?

15 years ago

Is there a manufacturer that makes the socket part of the electric outlet and the actual toggle part of a light switch in different colors?

Plates are easy to come by, but the color choices of the actual socket or toggle to match the plates/wall/backsplash are limited. I've thought about spray paint, but would be worried to paint electrical pieces, and am also worried about wear on a light switch. I want my switches on my back splash to disappear, and I know I can get a great plate, but to have the white toggle still staring at me from inside a matching plate seems dumb.

Home Depot carries a line of paintable plate covers, and they completely cover the actual outlet. Taymor Masque is the name. It won't help w/ the toggles, but I find that I don't notice mine once the plate cover is painted to blend into the wall.

I never knew anything like the Masque double outlet cover existed! Doesn't help with light toggles, but that's completely perfect for outlets! Thanks!

You can use masque for toggles.

They have a separate little cover that fits over the toggle switch. All of it can be painted.

Here is a pic of mine. I have had them about two years and the paint has held up well.
