Baltic Blue
OK, the car needs some work, but you get the idea. It is on the front burner now, getting a 3.0 mated to a 915 gearbox.

Color looks good in spite of sitting in a warehouse for 20 years plus and there is precious little rust.

If you're powered by Subaru, what about Subaru WRB (world rally blue)?
And the Winner is ...
Honda B97M found on 2000 and 2001 Honda and Accura. It's a pearl paint- voltage blue pearl. I know this is not what a purist would do, but my car is no longer stock, with a Subaru engine.
I am amazed at how much the color changes with the lighting. That's one reason it is so hard to pick a color. The colors look different on the net depending on the lighting. The color chips in the books at the store are pretty close, but then you still need to spray them out to compare colors. We sprayed in one, two and three coats and then put the clear coat over that to really see the color differences. The bottom colors are candy versions that I will use on the rockers.
Here's some of the photos. The car is only painted on the inside. Also, the clear coat is not on yet; the clear coat really makes the colors pop. Notice the two tones, front and side, casting the light differently.
One more photo to show the difference in lighting and how much it changes to color. This photo does not really show the color very well. The previous photos, especially the first are the truest.
