    Well, there are some...

    14" Toshiba Satellite Laptop PC, Purple, L645D-S4029, AMD Athlon II P320 Processor - Walmart.com

    HP Pavilion G7-1149WM Intel i3-370M 2.40GHz 4GB 500GB DVDRW 17.3" PURPLE CAMERA on eBay!

    Dell Passion Purple 15.6" Inspiron N5110 Laptop PC with Intel Core i3-2350M Processor and Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Option: Computers : Walmart.com


    And then most colored laptops usually have plastic colored lids made for them. You have a slew of notebooks already, so theres a good chance you can find a lid for one... or, find a new model according to what lids are available:

    And then there are places that do custom notebook skinning with any color or image of your choice, but it costs a bit. Generally ~$200. Plus, its usually places that sell enthusiast professional/game notebooks that cost a bit.

    if you cant find something you like, you can take a laptop apart and bring the pieces to a professional car paint shop and get them painted any color you want, a buddy of mine did that for $75.00.
