<x-flowed>No I havn't, but I went in and a sweet old lady lead me directly to a 
set of swatches that are for indoor/outdoor use(durable) and the pattern 
is pretty close. The orig. cord silver has three shades. A light almost 
white, a mid tone grey, and a dark grey. The sample I found at Calico 
only has an off white, and a grey, but it looks good. I did see a red 
version.......Maybe I can scan the color copy she gave me and attach it 
to an email tommorrow. You might like it.
