[ICOM] 781 cabinet color code?

[Mike Olbrisch]

Well - I have pretty good eyesight.  On a good day I can hold the black at 600
yards - without a scope.  But I have never found a matching color for the ICOM
cabinets.  Mine still has the scratch.

I will stop digging for the info then.  Good luck to you.
