Was "Agave Blue" an original Tele color?

One of my local shops has a nice MIM Agave Blue Tele. It plays surprisingly well and looks pretty sharp. I have never seen an older, stock Tele in this color. When did Fender put out this color?

....available on Mexican standard Teles and Strats. I think from the late 90s/early 00s, but I might be off by a few years.

Nice color...

yeah, not one of the old stock Fender colors, but it's a great color -- like a darker version of Ice Blue metallic

I was actually wondering if there were any vintage Teles done in Agave Blue or if it is a fairly new color for Fender.
