I had good luck getting a couple pairs of white hose from ebay (W Brewins, I think? wbsocks is the seller name), then dying them with Ritt fabric dye. The claret I chose turned out really well. The hunter green came out more olive, but still look ok.

In any case, check out your local fabric store and you'll find you can have any colour hose your heart desires for about 10$
