in carbon fiber? i dont think so cause carbon fiber is that black color
now, if you want a hood that weighs a lot less than stock and want it matching color, then get a fiberglass hood

You can get carbon fiber in all sorts of different colors, it is not only black......The black is the cheapest color though, and carbon fiber is easily painted if you want to do it that way...fiberglass isnot bad either though, just cracks and isnt nearly as durable as carbon fiber.

Most companies and brands offer it in an different colors, the actual carbon fiber itself is either a black, red, blue, yellow ect. weave. All carbon fiber hoods can be panted, I would personally go with a cheaper black hood and get it painted to match your car, because EX. say you have a yellow car, you get a yellow carbon fiber hood, its not going to be the same yellow as your paint, it will be off. Might as well have it matching.
Just do some searching, ive seen them before, saw a lot of them for our cars on ebaymotors awhile back, check their for brand names then see if you can find them cheaper as well as new or fresh out of the original box

lol, not a dumb question, i should have weighed my hood when i took it off, that stock hood is fucking HEAVY!!! most carbon fiber hoods are light as hell, prolly like only 15-20lbs or so. Im not exactly sure, but the stock hood is hella heavy. I took it off when i replaced my clutch to make it easier to pull the tranny, dont ask a lot of crazy ropes and pullys from above, LOL. but it got done.

Stock hood weighs in at close to 44-47lbs. CF hoods weigh from 13-20lbs for our cars.
