Default "antique nickel" screws?

We bought some Stanley hinges as replacements for the solid wood doors
in our home. The hinges are in the colour "antique nickel". The supplied
screws are tiny and definately will not fit into the place of the old
screws which were #8 - #10, 1.5" - 3" (love how the previous owners were
consistent! :-).

Anyhow, are there screws available in this "antique nickel" in much
larger sizes? I've done some Googling and have come up with screws in
alternative colours such as "antique brass" (which doesn't match) but
have only found them in lengths up to 1". Our local Home Depot, Rona,
etc. didn't have anything.

If anyone knows of a place (online or otherwise, but perferably Canadian
or at least ships to Canada) that might offer this colour of screw in
the lengths I need, that would be great. Else we'll stick with plain old
silver since I am sure no one will notice they don't match but me. :-)
