hmmm... I was thinking about bringing a pair of Hazet pliers to a powder coating shop and having them try and match the "blue" from the handles?
Can't shops match item colors from items brought in?
Just found this info and links from another forum.
which led me to this:

Finally, my quest to find the color has come to a near end.
Now, i just need to find the different types of "Blues" used over the years
Not sure how accurate these colors really are, but close. This information I also found on another forum.
"H48 = Tamiya x14 = Revell 51 = RAL 5002 "
and
Rustoleum Maui Gloss Blue
