In some shots it looks like Baltic Blue, but the shots do make it look a little 'off'.
There is a chance that the original colour was mixed incorrectly. I had this happen with my Triumph Stag. A specialist felt was Leyland White 19 but Leyland did look more old English. In the end I went to Painstore in Leamington where they confirmed it was Leyland 19 but gone wrong a little. They tinted it to the pattern and where I had the car painted you would not be able to tell the match was that good.
If it were me I'd be looking for a paint supplier to match it up. These suppliers can also supply in rattle cans but they generally need a panel to work off. The fuel cap for instance would be fine.

It also looks a bit like cobalt blue but mines a bit lighter. God knows what colour it is. I have the rear valance in the shed because it's broken so might get somewhere to take a sample from that. I'm hoping that whoever does the paint can also supply rattle cans or the mix up so I can have some spare to myself incase I need to do any extra wee bits! |

I use a place called Car Paint in Liverpool, any good car paint shop will match it for you. If it's a Porsche colour, they should find it.
