Cadet Blue....Anyone?

Looking for a pic of Cadet Blue (possibly in CLK55). Anyone have a pic or link. I've seen the color code in the brochure but want to see it on a CLK.

Thanks!

cadet blue

This won't be of much help, I'm afraid, but I too have been looking for that color and can't find it anywhere. However, today a salesman pointed out how similar it is in tonality, etc to Black Opal, except that it is lighter and perhaps with slightly more silver.
So, maybe -- look at a Black Opal and imagine it somewhat lighter with a touch more silver.
Looks like it might really be a hot color!

I wasn't impressed with Cadet Blue or Capri Blue. They are so dark that they look like dusty, dirty Black. That goes for Obsidian and Opal, too. I wouldn't want a color that's almost black; I'd rather have real Black. Orion Blue, on the other hand, is very pretty. I would consider that.
