Trek 720 dark blue cable housing?

I tried searching but no dice. Has anyone been able to find a current vendor for this stuff? I used Jagwire's blue for my 21'' but would like something more correct for my 22.5'' if possible. Thanks!...

I just sold a decently nice '92 XO-1 with mix of high-end and original parts for $850. $1000-$1500 for a thrashed XO-2 seems wildly optimistic.
