Eastwood has three sizes of
anodized solid rivets
, as far as I can tell. 1/8x5/16, 1/8x3/16, and 3/16x5/16 and hand or pneumatic tools to deal with them. I only have one to five rivets to deal with, so... not worth it to me right now for the tools.

Very well explained, Rick! Thank you! I have found, finally, gold anodized rivets and a few different tool sets from Eastwood. I’ll have to go back and check if they offer the size you recommend.

If the effect is worth it, it’s easy enough to anodize them your self.

Usually they're 5/32" Brazier head rivets. These can be replaced with 3/16" Modified Brazier rivets if the hole has become oversized. For a given shaft size, the Modified Brazier is the smaller one and it's virtually the same size as the next smaller shaft's Brazier head. e.g. The head of a 5/32" Brazier is the same as a 3/16" Modified Brazier and they use the same rivet set.

What are the dimensions of the average rivet in our boats? Anybody know of a source for anodized rivets?
