What year is it? Does it appear to have the metallic flake that Lapis is know for? The easiest thing would be to just look at the paint code.

is this a car you are looking at? how about calling the seller and asking them to get the paint code off the under side of the hood.....camera can make colors look really wrong depending on the lighting and settings
