That blue looks really blue.

I tried the recommended B&M blue, but it was way too light in the game.

Buzz, I appreciate your expertise. Do you have a suggestion for a better V&O blue?

So, what do you think of the B&M blue Virginian & Ohio units?

I'm likin something like this? Too dark?

This is 36 41 47. If you think this is too dark just lighten it up by ten each number until you get it right. I think I'm pretty close on the hue.

Decently modern V&O image you can probably pull paint colors from. You could also try B&O blue and see where that gets you.
