Are you looking for hose-wraps, or for hoses actually colored yellow? And if you don't mind answering, why?

Colored hoses...why? because I think that makes my primary on its 6 ft LP hose more visable, announcing 'take THIS one' in an OOA emergency and, I think its looks cool!

Well, I'm not sure that colored hoses are consistent with rule #6, but if you like 'em, more power to ya. 
I'll check a couple of links I have and post again if they've got yellow hoses.

I was told that the yellow hoses are more buoyant than the black ones and therefore may not be as desirable for some applications..
The yellow hose that came with my Apeks did seem softer and spongier...maybe they use a different compound to be able to color it...
But, I did take it off asap as I hated how it looked...

If you want to color-differentiate your primary (ie donating) reg, try finding an octopus faceplate for it. This way the reg itself is marked as the "take-me" piece of equipment, rather than the hose.
Don't know what regs you have, but if you have Apeks regs, all of the TX faceplates are interchangeable with other TX regs (except for the TX100 - it's the ugly stepchild), and all of the ATX faceplates are interchangeable with other ATX regs. So you can switch your yellow or dayglo octopus faceplate with your black/blue/whatever primary faceplate.
May not work for other brands, but you might be able to special-order a colored faceplate for your particular reg.
To answer the question you actually asked (which no one else seems to care about), you can order them from Scubatoys.com, among other places. Check page 2 of the Octos section.
