Hey, David,
My car appears to be the same color as the images you posted. As a caution, painters have told me that some of the old paint chips, will fade or darken. As a matter of fact, I have chipsets from several original suppliers (DuPont, Sherwin Williams, and a few others) and several of the darker colors are nearly indistinguishable from BLACK!

Prior to painting my car, I knew I wanted the blue you have, regardless of its name. After talking with owners and restorers (from several different states) the consensus was Packard Blue.

I have no doubt that of the various paint technologies out there, results will vary.

My car has been painted using the new single stage with mixture match done using PPG components. In dusk light, it almost appears black, in daylight, quite bright.

I uploaded photos, linked to my profile.
