Speedwell Blue Paint Code

Donald Pikovnik's book "Austin-Healey Guide to Historic Colors" was published in 1999. Probably not modern enough. He used ICI "2K" single layer urethane automotive paint. The ICI code for Speedwell Blue is 3131. BMC code is BU.01.
 
The code wont help much unless you're doing the whole car.
The best way to match what's on your car is to take it to an auto paint shop and have them "shoot" it. They will get it closer that using the factory color code. The color has likely changed with time
