Am looking at a possible colour change and many moons ago saved the image below - from DDK I think - and I keep returning to it so maybe it's "the" colour.
Can anyone let me know what the factory name of the colour that's been used on the car is please?
I looked at similar blues when I was thinking of going that route with mine. I quickly found out that these shades look very different at different times of the day and especially in different lights. You only have to Google a few colour names and the same cars come up in the search results!
My first thoughts were it could be 1957 Aquamarine Blue 5707. Searches for that colour are a complete mine field.
Best option would be to try and find the owner of the car. Good luck.

Thank you for the colour suggestion - cannot remember where I found the image so finding the owner might be tricky.
defianty / Stephen nailed it - did a search on Aquamarine Blue 5707 and any number of examples turn up. And as everyone has said the blues can look very different.
Find the owner was the suggestion - well what should turn up in the search but a forward corner of the rear arch that looked a lot like it might belong to this car.
Thank you all for your input - will set about getting some samples sprayed up (including Ultra Blue and VW Dove Blue) and settle on the exact hue over the summer for a winter project.
