ISO: brown electrical tape to match ground wire insulation

Greetings all. I'm not a huge fan of using electrical tape, so if I am going to use some on one of my ground wires, I would like it to match the color as closely as possible.

Anyone have any brand names / part numbers for brown electrical tape in the right hue?

Thx,
Frank

The Amazon link for the Scotch #35 above looks close to the right color - it's got a different picture:

Thanks! I thought of that, however it would need to be large enough for the ring terminal to pass through and then I don't believe it would shrink enough to sufficiently wrap the wire.
