Can you guess the color? Just for fun!

In 1955 the Ford truck had 3 different color codes in the Blue family. They were Banner Blue, Aquatone Blue, and Waterfall Blue. Below is a picture of a small section of the firewall of my Truck, protected for years from the leaky ole 239. I am a long way from paint at this point but thought it would be fun to see if there are any "true" Ford guys or good guessers out ther! I know the Code color. Give it your best shot! I'll give it a day or two before I reveille the answer! Good Luck!

The lighting might me a little off on the picture but it is actually Code B - Banner Blue

I plan to stay with this color when I get to that point in my restore. Thanks for the reply's!

Joe - I like the Color Chart, do you remember where it came from?
