I see 4 blues listed for 48--3 from ACME chart are.

6428 Packard Blue--very dark almost black consists of Prussian Blue, black, white & luminescence

6432-G Agate Blue--lighter and to me tilts gray consists of India blue, fine luminescence, white, black & green toner

6433 French Blue--the bluest blue which is blue toner,white, black, red oxide & green toner

And from a Dupont supplement issued Feb 49, in Aug 48 202-81344 Coronet blue replaced Agate blue & is black, white, red toned blue, medium light maroon & metallic base. Looks very similar to Agate though.
