Correct engine color

Can anyone offer insight on the correct engine color for a 1970 Olds 455? I purchased paint from Tamraz and the cap color doesn't quite look like most comparable engines I've seen lately.

Looks A LOT more like Toronado Blue.
Not even close to to the general 70 455 color.

Did you actually do a test spray? The cap may not be a correct example?

Oldsparts.com. Beautiful correct color, It sprays nice and even and lays down beautifully. I just redid my W 30 engine with it. Probably one of the best out of the can paints I’ve ever used.
