Colour code please

I'm trying to find the colour code for a car that my father owned about fifty years ago. It's the same as the picture. I've seen a few pictures online of this colour, so it wasn't a once off. It's not Horizon blue - that's much pailer.
Thanks in advance.
Dave.

OHhhh did not know....

There was a post on here somewhere under one of the car sections that showed paint colors and their names and code for many years..
IT could have went back to the 70's I forget

I think there may have been 2 of them... I remember reading them about 1-2 months ago or could be longer but definitely this year...

started with some cars that were GREEN. I think in the Coupe or SL section

Thanks for your help ygmn.
None of those colours look right but that may be because the charts are old and faded.

Hi Tim. Thanks for that. I happened to find some blue vinyl that exactly matched the color in my photos so I ordered some and am happy with the results. I will post up a pic of the finished piece soon.

I didn't find the paint code but I was able to get paint mixed the same as a sample of vinyl that matched a photo ! This is made from aluminum, the lights have LEDs but aren't wired up yet.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
