I don't know either; but I think you'll agree that the examples you gave
don't match the color given on the website that Jonmac linked to either.
Which was my original point, I don';t think the color shown is correct.
Here's the scanned color chip I mentioned before:
https://www.vintagetriumphregister.org/maintain/paint-charts/acme2.jpg
I'll add that it seems more likely to me that Standard-Triumphs' "Cotswold
Blue" was not the same as Jaguar's "Cotswold Blue". But again, I don't know
that.

Subject: [TR] Paint color discussion
I found the paint color discussion interesting in that I painted my 59 TR3A
Cotswold Blue in 2001. My local auto paint store had a 59 Triumph color code
sheet in one of their books and they scanned it to mix up my paint. I saw a
picture of a Jag XK150 on a magazine cover a while back and it said it was
Cotswold Blue and it looked very close to my color. I attached 3 other XK150
pictures and they all show colors close to mine. I just Googled "cotswold
blue xk150" to find these. Actually, when I type "cotswold blue tr3a" into
Google, the first picture I see is my TR3A with the white top on it. While I
think the blue in the car ad Randall posted is attractive, I am not sure
where they are getting Cotswold Blue from that.
