100S colour scheme "Lobelia Blue" - help!

Hi all
I am restoring a standard 100 to 100S specs and have searched and far and wide for the correct "Lobelia Blue" which was the colour below the swage line. The old "ICI" code is no longer valid in Australia. I do know that the Lobelia Blue had a hint of purple. Does anyone know of any colour codes. Any other suggestions??



thanks again

Dimitri

I suggest you contact an owner of a correct labelia blue 100S and ask him to scrape off a paint chip for you. Seriously, every 100S in existance has probably been restored and repainted, there must be a sample chip in someone's possession...or contact one of the quality resto-shops, I'm sure one of those has a sample laying about. PS - how will you retro-fit the oval grille???
