I don't know either; but I think you'll agree that the examples you gave
don't match the color given on the website that Jonmac linked to either.
Which was my original point, I don';t think the color shown is correct.
 
Here's the scanned color chip I mentioned before:
https://www.vintagetriumphregister.org/maintain/paint-charts/acme2.jpg
 
I'll add that it seems more likely to me that Standard-Triumphs' "Cotswold
Blue" was not the same as Jaguar's "Cotswold Blue".  But again, I don't know
that.

The paint chip the store scanned for me years
ago, on a chart that said 59 Triumph, looks just
like the Cotswold Blue on the chart you linked
to. When I got the paint it did look lighter
than I thought it was going to be. But as I
mentioned it is very close to all the Jag
pictures I've seen since then so I chalked it up
to how the scanners interpret the colors. I have
seen one other Triumph that the owner said he
had painted Cotswold Blue and it was close to
mine also. I usually describe it as a smoky
medium blue. I have gotten a lot of compliments
over the years for the color choice so I guess
that's all that matters.

The Main problem is California … they won’t let you mix any paint with any thinner that is NOT Water!!
and I really need to mix a better paint … anyone know where I might find a shop that will mix
