I did a cake last month in "pool". Go to David Bridal website for a sample of the color. icon_smile.gif

As sweetie112 said, Pool is a Davids Bridal color, and it is soon to be discontinued! You can get an idea of the color on their website, but advise the bride to bring a fabric swatch, or shoe dye sample from the store if the swatches arent available. Getting swatches in certain colors is a problem for Davids and they will dye a small swatch with their shoe dye, if she cant get you one in time. I ended up having to do this with all of my vendors for my wedding!
If all of the above fail, the best description I could give you, is the dresses are the color of water in Aruba!!! Beautiful!!

Oh WOW! I just meet with a bride this afternoon and that was her color. I asked what it was, and she said she thought it would be very hard to match and wanted a plain white cake for this reason. I'll have to go and check it out.

I had to go look up "pool" color on the website. Very pretty. Never seen a wedding dress with a color sash before, but it's been a long time since I have been to a wedding. Did she want decorations in that color or the cake?

I did a bridal shower cake with pool and celery colors a couple weeks ago ... I just uploaded it in my photos (http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo-498953.html). I just kind of guessed on the colors (wish I had known about the David's Bridal site then!), and lucky me ... they were pretty close! icon_smile.gif I mixed Country Blue and Sky Blue to get the pool color.

thanks everyone... looks kinda like a turquoise... i'm not sure exactly how she wants the cake yet... all she has said was that they want it to be simple so maybe no blue on the cake? that would be great because that looks like a hard color to get with icing...
