Never been able to get a picture of Bryar Blue to look right. My new iPhone SE (and I'm sure most new phones) has a picture mode setting called Transfer that I found after clicking on edit. Chose transfer then went back and added a little color.
First- What the phone sees: Next, what my eyes see:
Mike. I thought the same thing when I compared the 2 but I had the camera next to the car while I was editing the color so I could see the car and the camera at the same time. I've always thought it looked greener in natural light and bluer under halogens. I could probably try again in the bright sunlight or at night in the garage and come up with a whole new color. Very elusive color.

I think you got it very close, if not nailed it altogether on your second pic.
The color does look more green then blue to me. Its my favorite color on the chrome bumper cars. In 73 they used a color called Blue-green and I think its the same. It uses the same code 945 but that doesn't really mean anything.
Photographing colors to represent what they really look like is very hard with any color. Light conditions change everything.

Nice car you have.
The other thing is:
Everyone looking at your picture (or any picture) is doing so on a different monitor, tablet etc! It may look a bit different to everyone who see it ! A sign of the times I guess.
I Go crazy" when I take a pic with my wife's Cannon and I don't like the way it looks on the screen.... so I take a few more...... then I get it downloaded to the computer and it looks "ok" (but not quite what it looked like on the camera's LCD display!)
I feel your pain trying to get it just as you see it.
I actually like "both" of those colors. For me, I've always preferred the shade closer to the first picture (at least they way I see it here....), but that second color, with a bit more green is fantastic as well.

I had never seen Bryar blue in person - a car or the paint - period, until I visited my car after it had been painted, so when the guy who painted it was sending me pictures during the process he would get really frustrated because he thought the color was cool but had no way to share it. And he had bought a nice camera for just that reason, to send pictures of progress to his customers. The second picture may be a tad too green, but for anyone planning a repaint back to original 945 I say if you look at it without looking at the first blue blue picture it will help a little.
