They don't have all the KZ colors with the right colored stripes as he was asking about.

This has to be the cheapest way to get the right colors, unless you plan on making many harnesses, then the bulk route may be cheaper. At least, I assume the colors would be same as a stock harness.

Ahh... Original colors.

I have been tempted to replace a couple of decaying connectors while using the original wires with these:

I'm using some of those connectors. They work well if you have the right crimper. I don't, so I usually solder the connector onto the end of the wire. That's not really the proper method, though, and can lead to premature breakage of the wire if it's not done correctly. I just barely solder the tip of the wire to the connector to retain some flexibility in the wire. If it's over-soldered, the wire can break inside the insulation. The proper crimper would be superior.
