Looking for that \"just right\" color

Ok, here is a good one for this forum. I am presently preparing the pieces for my drum/disc swap. I bought new calipers(reman actually) and they came painted with some cheap stuff that is surface rusting already. Even though its not exactly correct for my 65, I am going to paint the engine Ford blue when I get to the engine. So, I decided that whatever color the block is, I want my calipers to be a direct match. Problem is, I have seen at least 3 shades of Ford blue in the parts stores. I even tried them on a piece of unfinished steel. They all looked the same! My request from all of you is this. Reply with a pic of your blue finished engines and with the pic please put all the particulars about the paint used; brand, shade, part# etc. This can be fun. Im looking forward to the responses. This way I can compare and nail down just which color to use.
THANKS

I would suggest painting the calipers black, when they are any other color they look kinda funny.
