I believe DE 1606 is a good choice.
My Tiger Engine Study has not indicated what shade of blue is
correct. The shade of blue can change over time, fuel spills can alter the
shade and previous owners could have touched up the paint.
I have pictures of many shades of blue. I do believe a dark shade
of blue is correct. It is also possible that Ford used a special mix of
blue for the Tiger engine so they would stand out and no one would mistake
them for standard production engines.
As always pick the shade of blue you like the most.

Hey, guys:
I've got my 260 done and it's time to paint it. Before I make a mistake,
I'd like to get some info on the correct shade of Ford Blue. I've seen
several different "Ford Blue" colors out there, but I think TBON indicates
that the correct shade is "Ford Dark Blue." I have used Dupli-Color paints
with great results over the years and the one that I think is the correct
shade is "DE 1606 Ford Dark Blue." Can anyone out there confirm this for
me?
Thanks much,
Andy Walker
