Scott: Its risky to base a color on a photo. Lighting and other factors may
have a large effect on the appearance.
Here is a post from a few months ago that might be helpful.

As stated by others, the Pikovnik guide identifies Healey Blue as BU.02 with
an ICI formulation identifier of 2301M. I believe ICI was acquired by PPG
and they therefore inherited the ICI original recipes. PPG now list the
colour as ARG.BU2. The naming convention they adopted cannot be a
coincidence so it should be safe to assume that this recipe is as close as
they can get using modern formulations.
I have posted a copy of the recipe at:

Good luck.
