Default 66 vette, what color is this?

Ok doing some work on some front window trim and to my surprise ran across this. I'm wondering if it is Nassau blue? When I bought my car I knew it wasn't original color, but never cared until I found this now I am curious. Not at home tonight but I thought I'd see what you all think. Don't remember what the trim tag says, didn't know how to decode it anyway.





Thanks

Post the info on the trim tag. It's very easy to decode.

I'm not at home so I'm not where I can see it. Sorry. I need to take a picture and leave it on my phone maybe.

The trim tag is located on a bar under the glove box right beside the vin tag. Are you saying your car doesn't have one or are not close to your car? By getting the numbers it takes the guessing game away.

It has it, I am just not at home where I can see it. I thought maybe someone could tell by the picture, and I have that on my phone that I sent to my iPad, so I uploaded.

The factory didn't paint color up that high on the windshield frame, it should be green primer up there. Somebody has painted your car blue at some point, doesn't look like a factory color.
