Internal Brake Line in Forks

After 3.5 months I finally got my forks in! They have an internal brake line that comes out the top of the fork but I ran into a issue... I have a set of apes with black magnum cables but the cable out of the fork is steel/grey colored. Anyone know of a connector I can use to connect the two so I can rock 3 black cables instead of 2 black and 1 steel/grey?? Magnum has a "rear brake tee" that looks like it might serve the purpose but I'm not sure. Anyone ran into an issue like this before?

I think if you can do it,it would look worse than the off color,since it already apart why don;t you just put a black cable sleeve on all of them

Only options are to leave it as is, try to find some sort of sleeve to match my black cables or cut the 2 and try to make them 1. I have the black pearl magnum cables and I'd like to keep them all looking the same. I'm waiting for the spike caps that go ontop of the forks to be shipped.Theres a hole in the back of the spike where the brake line comes out and goes up to my handle bars. I'm hoping to connect the two and hide the evidence in the spike cap. Not too sure how big the caps are but thats best case scenario.
