Oh my gosh, thanks for all of these links!
I must admit I'm confused by all of the different types. I was planning on looking for orange or salmon ones, as those seem to get the best reviews. I'm seeing all sorts of different colors in the links to taobao, and everything is in Chinese to boot...
Can you recommend which option would be closest to orange or salmon? Thanks!

The black Alps are tactile and should be the closest feeling that you can get NOS. There is a lot of elitism against black Alps but IMO I think they are OK.
