Anyone know if this is a standard ford colour?

Hey all,
I've decided on a blue looking very similar to this one.
Is this a standard Ford Blue that I can get a paint code for, or will I have to get it made up?

Cheers,

    That looks like Blueprint, as used on TE50/TS50s.  It'd be pretty close anyway! :)

    Thanks 75Van! 
    Does that come in a non metallic? All the blueprints seem to be a metallic colour.

    Not real sure if it could be matched in a non-metallic paint, but I can't see why not - it would have to be a custom mix probably.
     
    Unless someone else here knows if other Escorts of this period were available in this colour... ;)

    Blueprint is definitely metallic, great colour though, was looking for a blueprint XR8 for a while. ('settled' for venom red in the end as the condition of the car was too good to pass up. At least it's a good match for my RS though!)
     
    BLUEPRINT TE50

     
    There's a solid Ford blue from the seventies called True blue. Maybe a bit light for what you're after?
     
    TRUE BLUE XY GT

     
    Ford Bionic blue is pretty close to the colour on the MK2 Escort you pictured.
    It's a solid blue too & was available on the B series falcons.
     
    BIONIC BLUE

     
    Cheers, Jason.

    In 1976 Ford release a colour called blaze blue or blue blaze. I bought a brand new Mk2 4 door in that colur which looks very similar to what you are asking.
