dark blue ford color options

Starting to think of my final paint color and despite seeing a number of great color combos, I'm still drawn to a dark metallic blue with white stripe.
Lexus Indigo ink is a very common color out there, and for a great reason. Nice deep blue color that pops in the sun.
For some reason, I think it'd be nice to keep with a Ford color code. I know, it's a replica and who cares which color you pick, right?
I've come across a few colors that I really like and wondering if anyone has painted their cobra with these

Blue Jeans
Kona (a bit too purple in some lights, IMO)
Antimatter Blue
Nightmist
Caspian

Alternatively, I really like Audi's Navarra blue.
At the end of the day, Indigo might be the winner, but just wondering if anyone has found a similar/better Ford color.

Why a Ford color? These never where a Ford product

Well, not a Ford color but BMW has a really nice deep blue out that really pops in the sun.

Tanzanite Blue Metallic:

If you want to stick with a Ford color, I'm partial to Dark Blue Metallic (also called Nightmist Blue), but of course I would be - here's my '67 GT500 tribute:

If you want to go with a non-Ford color, do a search on "Porsche blue colors". IMO, nobody does blue better than Porsche. There must be hundreds of variations of blue that Porsche has used over the years.

no specific reason. I'm flexible. I just figured that since I have a Ford small block, a Ford rear end, Shelby and Ford's relationship that launched this car, and the fact that this kit was initially designed for a mustang donor that I would just use a Ford color code.

Best color will win at the end of the day, but I'm sure there are similar Ford codes.

I’ll be spraying antimatter on one in the next week or so. I’ve shot a couple samples of it and sent them out but can do another and send to you if you like. If you haven’t seen it in person I will tell you that in anything other than bright sun it’s nearly black.

Thanks Jeff. I texted you my address

If you like blue, take a look at Ford Velocity blue, it is a metallic, but really nice
