Modern alternative for Delft Blue

Has anyone come across a modern paint equivalant to the '74 Delft Blue used  
on the 6?
 
I'm very close to actually getting color on my 6 and just when I thought I  
had decided on Emerald or Conifer, I saw a couple of 6's done in Delft Blue 
that  looked very nice.  Since I've never owned a blue car I thought about 
giving 
 it a try.  Here's the problem...my paint supplier says that it isn't  
available either in the PPG or Dupont books as a two stage system which I want  
to 
use.  They show a cross reference to a Ford Royal Blue and my supplier  was g
ood enough to give me 1/2 pint to try but it looks very dark.  Haven't  sprayed 
it yet and I assume it will lighten a bit but it looks very dark in the  can. 
 
Any suggestions ?
