Thanks to the good folks at Etymotic Research, the ER series of filters for the Musicians Earplugs (Westone Style No. 49) are now available in five colors; beige (the original), brown, red, blue, and clear (my favorite color). There is no charge for your choice of color.

Formula II, RX, Mediflex: Beige Filter
Any vinyl material tinted brown: Brown Filter
Formula II Clear, Superflex, Frosted Flex, and any vinyl material tinted other than brown: Clear Filter
From what we have seen, the red and blue filters are used for folks who desire a quick visual reference for which side goes where (red-right, blue-left).
If any of your patients want to replace the filters on their existing Musicians Earplugs with one of the new colors, we suggest a retail price of $76.00 for a pair of ER filters.
