Default Question on valve cover colors

I'm repainting the valve covers on my '77. Rustoleum has a color called 'GM blue' for one of their engine paints. Is this the right one to use?

The color is correctly called Corporate Blue. I painted my 77 engine with Rustoleum brand paint and I think it had the correct labeling. I do think the color is a bit "brighter" than the original paint if correctness is a big concern.

Personally, I like the Seymour Chevy (GM) engine blue. I'm not really familiar with the Rustoleum version of Chevy engine blue. I know the Seymour is a good match.
