Default 1971 color code 979

I have stripped the vette and want to know what the 979 color (bridridgehampton blue) looks like.

Where can I find a good color sample?

Real nice color - my friend just bought a 979 Bridgehampton Blue car - it was just repainted. I'm restoring the interior (BLACK) and making the car complete for her. I'll probably take some pictures as I go along if you want to see what that color looks like on a 71....
