Default Teal stinger color for 67Elkhart BB hood?

Does anyone have the color reference numbers (preferrably PPG/Ditzler) for the teal stinger color on a '67 Elkhart Blue big block hood?

The original color of my BB hood.

Is it my imagination, the lighting, or age, but or does your stinger look a bit light?

Probably the lighting, or computer images or ?. The paint shop that did it a few years ago used newer BC/CC formulas for both blues, so difficult to compare to the original shades.

Here's another car in those colors. I saw this one when it was for sale and it was even more stunning in person.

Default Paint fever...

Big thanks Rich5962 but damn, just the info would have been just fine! You just HAD to go and post these fabulous pics, now I have paint fever - you know, just like spring fever hits and you wish your convertible Vette was ready. I just wish I was far enough along to see mine in paint - ARGH! Patience, patience...

Sorry, but I like pictures....

p.s. I wish it was my car. A friend in Vero Beach painted it for the owner.
