What color is this 442? Yes, I already know it's blue.

Assuming it's a correct '68 color, I'm pretty sure it's not sapphire blue, code "D".
Sapphire blue is a medium blue. That car looks like it's a darker blue.
The blue colors available in '68 were:
Sapphire Blue-Code "D"
Nocturne Blue-Code "E"
Ocean Turquoise-Code "K"
Teal Blue-Code "L"
Hard to tell from the pic, but, it looks like a dark teal blue, might be the code "L".
I think you can pretty much rule out the code "D" and the code "K",
probably the code "E", too. It's a dark blue like a Navy blue.

It's Ocean Turquoise. I had a friend who owned a 68 Cutlass S convertible the exact same color combo. He had to have it repainted after someone backed into the trunk and that's when we found out the name of the color.

I agree on the "ocean turquoise metallic" as Oldsmobile called it.
1968 GM paint code "K" different names for different divisions
Chevrolet - "Tripoli turquoise metallic"
Buick - "aqua mist metallic"
Pontiac - "meridian mist metallic"

Oldsmobile - "ocean turquoise metallic"
