I wish I could help here. I don't have the information needed to
confirm the correct shade of Blue.
Tod Brown sent me a picture of the original blue engine paint on his car and
he states that DE 1606 matches. I have also seen pictures that look like
medium blue and some pictures look even lighter.
The problem is I do not have any original B19KC blue in hand to
compare. I made a paint stick with DE 1601, the lighter shade, and DE 1621,
medium shade, but it is impossible to compare my paint stick to a picture;
way too many variables.

This is the best site I have found that at least shows the 3 shades of blue
together. I have to shine a light on my paint stick to come close to the
shades represented on that page.
I wish I had a better answer. This is a case where Tiger owners with B19KC
engines painted blue needed to check the shade of blue on their engines.
It is also possible that the 289 engines in the MK II are painted a
different shade of blue. I simply can not make that determination.

Ron Fraser...can you help out.
My Tiger B382002668 was built is Dec 1996.. it has the 18KC engine with Rev
9. I'm about to paint it in a few weeks. I asuumed from the earlier
discussion it should be DE 1606. I'm covering was is a very dark blue.
Since my car is near the end of MK IA, did Sunbeam use DE1606 oer perhaps DE
1601. My question is: Is DE 1601 the lig
