The original canisters for 4 cyl TR's were a light to medium peacock blue that
fades
to what looks like a minty green. TR-6 canisters were a slightly darker, more
pure
blue. The paint on the TR-6 canisters must have been very poor quality, as it
seems
to have flaked off very quickly. It is hard to locate one that still has a fair
amount of original paint on it these days!
Good luck!
