No idea which is the most accurate, but I prefer the one on the right.

Whichever you choose, mix up double....only way you will ever be able to match it...

PPG is winning the forum race. Anyone else?

PPG looks the best to me as well.... but Nassau blue is a very difficult color to match, type of spray gun, air pressure, temperature, and humidity are just some of the things that can make the color look different.

Personally I like Glasurit the best, if you want to take a look at another option.
