Contexto cultural
Shopping is a social contract. Asking for colors is often a way to prolong the interaction and show interest, which is polite. In the souqs, merchants might have stock hidden in different stalls. Asking this might lead to a walk through the market to a cousin's shop. In high-end malls, using the formal 'Hal yūjad...' is very common with staff who may be from different Arab countries. Egyptians love variety. Asking for 'lawn tāni' will often result in the seller showing you things you didn't even ask for!
Use 'Fīh' for speed
If you are in a busy market, just say 'Fīh lawn tānī?' to sound more like a local.
Smile while asking
In Arab culture, a friendly demeanor while asking for stock variety makes the seller more likely to go check the back room for you.
