Walker Roll-A-Car : paint color question

[garagesapien]

looks like the Walker Roll-A-Car series Floor jacks have Blue, Red and white colors. Do you know the Blue paint color code or name. It looks like slightly lighter Gulf Livery Blue (racing colors). I will be repainting Walker No:783 (Shop Boy). I have seen some restored jacks with dark blue body but really like the this retro blue pictured below.

A nice, not exactly original color can be found in post 6,135 in " "Restored 1930's Auto Shop" thread. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/restored-1930s-auto-shop.51567/post-2779502

I remember the red is really close to "Troy bilt red" which at one time rustoleum once had... the blue is almost like the GM metallic light blue (don't remember the color), we had new Walker 2 1/2 ton jacks at work that were that color - IIRC we used to do "Duplicolor" paint and I remember it was a GM color (maybe a chevy truck color?) , so hopefully that helps... as you can see in the picture, it's like a sky blue color... we bought it by the case for when we rebuilt the jacks. It was not a dark or even a medium blue, and I remember it had a metallic sheen to it... Sorry I can't help more, but I'm thinking back almost 30 years.

I picked up the Jack yesterday night. it turned out to be a Roll-A-Car NO: 783 SERIES D . I am not thrilled as I thought it was SERIES C based on the seller's information over the phone. Ended up getting it anyway as I had to drive far after work to get it. Don't take me wrong -Series D is very good but I like the retro look of Series C. I will post separate thread with restoration pictures of this one and keep my eyes open for SERIES C in Cal area in the meantime.
