I ask, because beige and black aren't that hard to find, but I haven't come across other colours. I would be interested to know as well.
Nope I mean like pink and purple and blue!

When the skate manufacturers like SP-Teri and Harlick sell custom colored leather boots, they dye the laces themselves. You may want to try one of those companies that sells colored leather customs to see if they have any to sell.

Depending on the fiber in the laces (cotton vs. nylon), you could try using Kool-aid (the powdered type without sugar) or even food coloring (the Wilton pastes made for cake decorating).

You will need to soak the laces well for at least 15-20 minutes and may need to use vinegar (I believe both food colorings may work better with a mild acid). If you search online for info on hand-dying yarn or fiber, there is a lot of information available for free.
