Vocabulary
In a seven; in a silver
I am familiar with the phrase in a [number] (seven, forty etc) when referring to sizes of clothes or shoes (while shopping).
Is it also okay to say in a/the ""? Cuz I often hear in "" (e.g. in red). But here's a dialog from Friends (The One Where Nana Dies Twice).
Aunt Lilian: Could we see something in a slimmer heel?
Ross: Okay, I have nothing in an evening shoe in the burgundy. I can show you something in a silver that may work.
Is the phrase 'in an evening shoe' okay?

Maybe regional variation again.
If I have one pair of shoes that has a high heel in black and another by the same designer with a low heel in navy, it's very easy to me to imagine saying to the sales person "I likes these [holding out the high heels], but do they come in the navy?"
