  Inspired by a recent proposal for a Higgs description of QCD we study the
possible formation of a color-octet/flavor-octet quark-anti-quark condensate in
the instanton liquid model. For this purpose we calculate two-point correlation
functions of color-singlet and octet quark-anti-quark operators. We find long
range order in the standard $<\bar{\psi}\psi>$ channel, but not in the
color-octet channel. We emphasize that similar calculations in lattice QCD can
check whether or not a color-flavor locked Higgs phase is realized in QCD at
zero temperature and baryon density.
