Astigmatism and contacts and color...all in one?

I have been wearing contact for a year now, I do have astigmatism in both eyes, the left worst than the right. I was told I might not be able to get contacts originally, but being a person that does not take no for an answer I continued to ask questions until I got an answer I liked. I have been told my vision will only get worst. I am only 30 years old. I want to get contacts with a little color in them, but have been told they don't make them. Last year I was told they did, I was told once that my eyes are shaped like footballs and they have to make my contacts, so why can't they add color? I am willing to pay for it. I feel like my question is not as extreme as some others I have read but it is just as inportant to me.So what is the real truth do they make contacts with color for those of us that have astigmatism or not?
