: Paint to match '68 interior

Looking for a blue shade exterior color to match my '68 Medium Blue interior. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with matching the '68 Medium blue interior?
For those unfamiliar with the '68 Medium Blue it is more like a light/silvery blue rather than a true medium shade. I am also looking just for a two part paint, nothing exotic like candy (don't have the $$).
My initial personal preference is for a medium to dark blue, but am not sure if this would really look too good once I have the car painted and the interior reinstalled.
Thanks for any suggestions.

hate to admit this, but i think you should seek the advice of a woman, though marina blue would probably go

A great light silvery blue was the "bright blue" used in 67 interiors. The lacquer stuff for interiors sold by Year One fits your description exactly.
