help truck color!!!

i want to paint my truck the same blue as it was originally. i had a quart of blue paint made a few years ago,it was supposed to be the same color! now i,m not sure exactly what year cab i have,because of truck having an accident and cab was replaced. i,m really not good with paint and designs! so i wanted the same colors as originally. i kind of figured the tacoma cream. but the blue i have is to pale,looks like a rustoluim color! the truck was a dark blue . any help with a color code appriciated. the color i find that looks like it is lincoln bristol blue ,but my paint guy says he dosn,t no what it is! now this is all over the phone. paint is going to be a cheap urethane paint. and i already wasted 70 $ on the first quart.

Don't know if it was a factory color for your year truck but I've always been partial to Washington Blue with Tacoma Cream accents. JMO.

It looks like the Lyon blue in the 1940 chip
