All I could find was my Picturetrail of the Convention, where Ford brought a 2010 in that color:

Scroll down on the left, there's a few pics.

Personally, I think you are better off with the silver. As my 92-year-old Dad has said, "that's an old man's color" in reference to cars in that light blue metallic.

I didn't have my camera at the car show, just the track.

If i had the cash for an SHO (at the mature age of 21 it just not possible for me lol) i would only consider two colours. Thats the Atlantic Green and the Steel Blue Metallic. The SHO looks great in black and silver but those are very popular colours and i like to be different. I've only seen SHO's on the road in black/silver/red (it looks really hot in red). At the FoMoCo HQ in Canada (which is my hometown) all the employees that get to drive SHO's have them in blk/silver/red. The SHO also looks nice in the cinnamon and i've only seen one of those. I believe it was online here and one of our members posted pics of her cinnamon SHO with a two tone interior.

I find it funny that the rear bumper cover doesnt match the 1/4 panel.

Typical of this Ford color. My '99 slo of very similar color is the same way with both bumper covers; only noticeable in certain light/certain angles.

Yea, it is just the color. A lot of new Ford colors have a lot of pearl or metallic in it and make it vastly change tones at different angles and lights. Like this color has a slight greenish aqua tone to it in the sun I think, but indoors it looks more like a sky blue.

I saw one today at the dealer. It indeed has the slight greenish tone in direct sunlight.
This was the 1st time I've seen this color in person. Would probably provide a real sleeper look for the SHO, but I ordered and will soon take delivery of the Red Candy. Really a hot color!!!!!!!! I'm getting old guys, I want he car to be noticed. The Atlantic Green is to dark and could almost pass for black under a passing glance.

I just came back from the autoshow here in Chicago. It's a nice color. I wonder what it would look line in a Gen II blue?

Now I'd pay 50K for that :)
