Making cables pretty

What are the best techniques for making cables look pretty. I'm thinking of wiring my rear surrounds with Kimber 4PR. Unfortunately, I'm going to need to wire it along the carpet's edge and then up the wall, since I'm not wiring into the walls right now. Trouble is, the cable is brown, and my carpet and walls are off-white.

Are there any tricks to get the cable to "disappear" (spraypaint? cable covers? tape?).

Thanks,
Matt.

Albert - Gee I hope that PVC Pipe is treated with a conductive coating and grounded. I am sure you don't want any static on the line... :-)

I mounted my monos UNDER the speakers onto the floor joists, and threaded the cables up though the baseboard.
Only a few feet of silver ribbon "flows" from the walls.

Why not pull the carpet up and run them under it along the edge. You will get a slight bulge but visually it will blend better then anything else.
