Help me identify this paint color

[SavageC20]

I am planning on painting my truck soon and I am trying to identify this color that was on my 72 c20 when it was repainted in 1977or8. I really like the way it looks and want to bring it back. A family member of the original owner said he thought it was a color from a 1967 or 8 corvette. I did't see anything that looks exactly like it online. I also checked 1977-8 corvette paint colors and the closest I found was international blue, but it still looks different to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a vette in international blue

Hard to say, I think it's a repaint. By the grille I guess it's a '72 truck and there were no blue offered in metallic

I have an original sales brochure from 72 and that paint looks a lot like MARINER BLUE. for a lighter shade try Hawaiian Blue.

That's not an original color - Chevy didn't offer any metallic blues or any blues that dark in 71-72 for trucks. If you want to get close to the color in the first post, look up 2001 Chevrolet Indigo Blue Metallic.

Thanks, that indigo blue looks pretty close.

You're welcome. I own an 01 Indigo Blue truck (not the one pictured) and it's very light angle-dependent. Your pic #2 in post one looks like a dead ringer for it in certain light conditions.

Looks a lot like #26 Fathom Blue from '70. It looks a bit darker, though. Thing about a repaint is that the paint shop may have had their own mix that is nothing like a factory color.

I just browsed through some pics of camaros with fathom blue paint. Some of them look pretty close depending on the lighting. That may be the color.

Looks like it might '72 Targa Blue ?

Indigo Blue Metallic is a nice color, I’m a bit biased though that’s what my ‘98 Silverado wears.
That targa Blue looks really nice too, reminds me of the Aqua Blue Metallic my Camaro wears.
