All blues listed on the 968 paint codes:
Horizon blue metallic
Maritime blue
Midnight blue metallic
Cobalt blue metallic

Could it be maritime blue or horizon blue metallic?

My mom has a horizon blue car...... I know what that looks like and the car pictured doesn't horizon blue, though if you stare at it, and try to see past the lighting effects, I think it might be.

A friend has a cobalt blue car, so I can tell the car pictured is not cobalt blue. It's definitely not midnight blue.

You missed a blue, Riviera Blue. I'm pretty sure that's Riviera Blue, it's kind of hard to tell by the lighting, if the lighting is making it look lighter then it is, then I'm going with Maritime Blue which is little bit darker shade of blue then Riviera.

The shop manual I have only lists '92 colors and doesn't have a Rivieria blue, but I did miss one, a midnight blue pearl effect code 39C was also listed. I'm guessing horizon blue since it reminds me of sky blue.

Riviera Blue isn't metallic...I'll double check my color codes tomorrow from work.
